Dasiphora
Also called Cinquefoil, Bush Cinquefoil, Shrubby Cinquefoils
Dasiphora is a genus of small deciduous shrubs in the rose family, with one main species, D. fruticosa (shrubby cinquefoil), found across the cool temperate Northern Hemisphere. Commonly grown varieties are hardy, low-maintenance garden shrubs that flower over a long season.
Dasiphora is a genus of shrubs in the rose family Rosaceae, native to Asia, with one species D. fruticosa (shrubby cinquefoil), ranging across the entire cool temperate Northern Hemisphere. In the past, the genus was normally included in Potentilla as Potentilla sect. Rhopalostylae, but genetic evidence has shown it to be distinct.
The leaves are divided into five (occasionally three or seven) leaflets arranged pinnately, whence the name cinquefoil (French, cinque feuilles, "five leaves").
