Prairie Cinquefoil (Potentilla arguta) is a hardy native perennial wildflower prized for its clusters of creamy white blooms and strawberry-like foliage. It brings a natural, meadow-inspired look to prairie plantings, pollinator gardens, and cottage borders, and its upright, clump-forming habit makes it a dependable long-lived addition to sunny landscapes.
