Potentilla 'Emilie' - 2026

Potentilla ‘Emilie’ is a showy perennial prized for its semi-double, mahogany-red flowers edged with yellow blotches that bloom abundantly throughout summer. The blossoms sit atop long slender stems above a neat mound of glossy, green, strawberry-like foliage. The contrast between the deep red petals and bright yellow edging gives a vivid, warm display that captures the eye in mixed borders, cottage gardens, or sun-loving containers. The foliage remains tidy and complements the flowering season with its fresh texture and colour.

This plant performs best in full sun or light partial shade, in soil that is moist but well-drained. It is fairly hardy and low maintenance, needing little beyond occasional deadheading to prolong bloom. ‘Emilie’ is non-native to the UK, bringing both ornamental value and ecological interest by attracting pollinators during its flowering months.
