Sibbaldiopsis (Potentilla tridentata) - Description
Sibbaldiopsis is a genus in the plant family Rosaceae containing the single species Sibbaldiopsis tridentata. It was formerly a member of genus Potentilla. Its common name is three-toothed cinquefoil. Systemic phylogenetic work has placed S. tridentata closer to Aphanes and Sibbaldia than to Potentilla. (Erikkson et al. 2003)S.
Sibbaldiopsis (Potentilla tridentata) - Blooming
Five petaled, cup or saucer shaped flowers, usually borne over a long season from spring or early summer to fall. Carried singly or in small clusters in colors such as white, yellow, orange, pink, and red.
Sibbaldiopsis (Potentilla tridentata) - Growth
Perennials, subshrubs, and shrubs, and a few annuals and biennials. Leaves are compound arranged in a palmate or pinnate fashion. Potentilla grows best in full sun. Many species work well in rock gardens or mixed borders. Shrubby species are nice for shrub borders or as low hedges.
Sibbaldiopsis (Potentilla tridentata) - Planting
Sow seeds in fall or spring in containers in a cold frame (for protection and to ensure hardiness). Propagate perennials by division in fall or spring. Shrubs can be propagated from greenwood cuttings in early summer.
Sibbaldiopsis (Potentilla tridentata) - Pest
Potentilla is susceptible to powdery mildew, leaf blister, rust, downy mildew, and fungal leaf spots.
Sibbaldiopsis (Potentilla tridentata) - Interesting facts
Potentilla is native to a range of habitats in the Northern Hemisphere, such as meadows and mountain screes. Although the fruits (and foliage) may look like strawberries, the berries, while edible, are not sweet.
Sibbaldiopsis (Potentilla tridentata) - Soil and irrigation
Poor to moderately rich, well-drained soil. Sandy to loamy is fine, but clay drains too slowly. Species grown in a rock garden prefer poor, gritty soil with excellent drainage.
