Potentilla multifida

Potentilla multifida, a perennial plant from the rose family (Rosaceae), is native to regions across Central and East Asia, including Afghanistan, China, Mongolia, and Russia. Known for its edible roots, this hardy plant thrives in various soils—light, medium, or heavy—and prefers moist conditions with partial sun to full sun exposure. Its adaptability makes it a valuable addition to gardens and landscapes. One distinctive feature of Potentilla multifida is its ability to grow up to 0.3 meters tall, making it an attractive ornamental choice while also serving as a food source in its native range.
