Cultivation method:

Sow seeds indoors about 6 to 8 weeks before the last expected frost. Use well-drained potting soil and maintain a constant temperature of 65F (18C) to encourage germination, which will occur in 14 to 21 days. Transplant seedlings into individual pots when they have a few leaves.

Once the risk of frost has passed, transplant them into the ground in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Space the plants 8 to 12 inches apart to allow them to fully develop. Fireball cinquefoil tolerates drought conditions once established and does not require much watering, making it an ideal plant for poor soils or areas that receive little water.

With its spectacular flowers and ease of growing, Potentilla Fireball Mixture will add a burst of colour to your summer gardens, while requiring little maintenance! An excellent choice for both amateur and experienced gardeners.
