cinquefoil, slender (Potentilla gracilis)

Slender cinquefoil is an attractive plant for perennial garden borders, wildflower meadows, openings in a woodland or wildlife garden or around a pond. The plants have beautiful early-summer golden blooms, attractive seed heads, and showy fall foliage that turns shades of pink, orange and yellow. Slender cinquefoil serves as a nectar and pollen source for honey bees, butterflies, and native pollinators and is generally deer-resistant. Can be grown in containers.
