Potentilla nepalensis 'Ron Mc. Beath' - 2026

Potentilla nepalensis 'Ron Mc. Beath' is a compact, clump-forming perennial that produces vibrant cherry-pink, cup-shaped flowers with dark red centres from late spring through summer. The flowers are held above a low mound of strawberry-like foliage, creating a striking contrast and a long-lasting display. Its neat habit and colourful blooms make it an excellent choice for rock gardens, sunny borders, or containers. Deadheading spent flowers encourages further blooming, while the tidy foliage adds structure even when not in flower.

This cultivar thrives in full sun in well-drained soil and is low-maintenance once established. It is drought-tolerant and hardy, offering ecological value by attracting pollinators during its flowering period. Although non-native to the UK, it provides long-lasting ornamental impact and versatility for many garden settings.
