Potentilla

The herbaceous perennial, not the shrubby variety that is! I'm thinking of adding one of these charming plants to my 'warm' herbaceous border for next year, but there seems to be a huge choice of varieties. I only have space for one, so I'm looking for recommendations, ideally in the red/pink colour scheme.

Thanks in advance.

 

Atrosanguinea or Monsieur Rouillard fit the bill but I must confess I've not grown them.

 

Thanks Rob. I've seen those varieties for sale.

Anyone else?

 

A source I always like to check out is BoB Brown, who as an ex schoolmaster gives plants a score from 1 to 10. http://www.cgf.net/plants.php?genus=POTENTILLA

If nothing else it gives some names and one person's opinion.

 

As always, thank you Peter. I have that website saved in my favourites, but forgot about it!
