This plant was very invasive in my flower bed. On a positive note, I moved it all to a barren strip by the street and it is doing fine. Can withstand foot traffic.

Positive Todd_Boland On Feb 6, 2005, Todd_Boland from St. John's, NL (Zone 5b) wrote:

This little potentilla is native to limestone areas of northern Newfoundland. I've grown it in my rockery for many years. Plants can gently self-seed but are easily controlled. They bloom here in June.
