How to care for Potentilla × tonguei:
Lift and divide large clumps in autumn or spring. In spring apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plants.
Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
