Potentilla nepalensis 'Melton Fire'
Potentilla nepalensis 'Melton Fire' is a mound forming hardy perennial, flowering mid to late summer. Tricolor flowers of deep red, soft crimson and vanilla on spreading plants
Flowering
From Late Spring TO Mid Autumn
Potentilla flowers freely through the summer, often well into autumn. Cut back flower stems, except for P. fruticosa varieties, as flowers fade.
Planting
From Late Autumn TO Early Spring
Plant from autumn to spring in any moderately fertile and well-drained soil except P. crantzii, P. cuneata and P. nitida, which need a gritty, poor soil if they are to produce a good display of flowers. All potentillas prefer a sunny situation.
