Potentilla nepalensis ‘Ron McBeath’

From a mound of lush foliage 35cm high come long branching stems topped with red flowers with a dark centre. Flowers are produced throughout the summer. Prefers a sunny position with moderate water. Herbaceous. Forty years ago I visited the Edinburgh Botanical Gardens where I met Ron Mc Beath for whom this plant is named. Ron was the Curator of Alpines and after letting me in to the tightly locked area I was left to browse through an extraordinary collection of the rarest of the rare alpine plants alone for 3 hours. 50cm x 50cm
