Dasiphora fruticosa var. veitchii is a flowering plant in the family Rosaceae, native to Sichuan and Yunnan in China. It was first described as the species Potentilla veitchii by Ernest Henry Wilson in 1911, after he had earlier introduced it into gardens in the United Kingdom. Its scientific name and status have varied, and remained "unresolved" according to the Royal Horticultural Society as of May 2022. In horticulture, it may also be found under the names Potentilla davurica var. veitchii and Potentilla fruticosa var. veitchii. It is cultivated as an ornamental flowering shrub.
Dasiphora fruticosa var. veitchii, under various names, is cultivated as an ornamental shrub. It was described in 1987 as "not common" in gardens, possibly because its small flowers are not abundant, although they are produced over a long period. It was awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit in 1969. It is frost-hardy. A sunny position is needed for good flowering.
Dasiphora fruticosa var. veitchii is native to South Central China (Sichuan and Yunnan). Wilson described it in 1911 as common in upland thickets at altitudes of about 6,000 m (20,000 ft) in open rocky situations exposed to full sun.
