Potentilla 'Red Giant' - 2026

Potentilla 'Red Giant' is a hardy, clump-forming perennial valued for its large, bright red flowers that bloom prolifically from early summer into mid-summer. The blooms sit above a mound of green, palmate, strawberry-like foliage, creating striking contrast and long-lasting visual interest. Its upright habit and vigorous flowering make it ideal for sunny borders, cottage gardens, or containers. Deadheading spent flowers encourages extended flowering, while the dense foliage provides year-round structure and texture. This cultivar attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies, adding ecological value to the garden.

It thrives in full sun to partial shade in well-drained soil and is low maintenance once established. Although non-native to the UK, it is hardy and reliable, bringing bold colour and garden interest throughout its flowering season.
