From among neat strawberry-leaves emerge long sprays of raspberry-pink flowers, dark-eyed, for weeks, through summer.

WAYS TO PAY
Can you grow Miss Willmott from seed
Yes you can grow from seed. Surface sow onto moist, well-drained seed compost, just cover with a little soil, and place in a cold frame. Allow autumn warmth followed by natural winter cold to offer ideal conditions for germination. Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots and grow on. After danger of frost has passed, acclimatise and plant out the seedlings.
Hi i have Potentilla nepalensis 'Miss Willmott' which has flowered beautifully two questions when should i cut it back and it spreads itself wide should i support it or just let it grow naturally thank you
Often Potentilla die back at the end of the season. If they do stand over winter cut back the remaining stems to ground level in spring. They prefer poor to moderately fertile, free-draining soils. If they are grown in rich and fertile soils, they are likely to grow taller and have a tendency to flop, which might be the case here, as they generally do not require any staking/ support.
