Miss Willmott is going rampant in my garden. She has such lovely leaves and vibrant flowers that I am not at all worried about her behaviour although I know that at some point I am going to have to curtail her habit. Planted at the front of a border, Miss Willmott has thrown out some vigorous stems which are pushing between neighbouring plants. It would seem that this non-shrubby potentilla is not only perfect for ground coverage but attracts pollinating insects, like the below hoverfly, too.

I have planted mine in full sun in moist but well drained soil. I don't think Miss Willmott is very particular about soil type but she does like sun. It achieves a height of about 30cm (12in) and a spread of about 30-60cm (12-24in).
