100 Seeds Prairie Cinquefoil Drymocallis arguta Wildflower Pollinator Cottage Garden

Prairie Cinquefoil is a hardy North American wildflower that forms neat clumps of strawberry-like foliage topped with clusters of creamy white to pale yellow blooms. Blooming through the summer, it brings a soft, natural look to meadow plantings, cottage borders, and native garden designs. Its flowers are a favorite of bees and other pollinators, making it a useful addition to wildlife-friendly landscapes. Prairie Cinquefoil is a low-maintenance, long-lived perennial that thrives in full sun and tolerates dry, poor soils once established. Great for naturalized areas, pollinator gardens, rock gardens, and mixed perennial beds, it pairs well with other sun-loving wildflowers and grasses. Plants may not flower in their first year as they establish roots, with fuller blooming in successive seasons.
