About this plant

Monarch’s Velvet is a striking cinquefoil that performs best in full to part sun with average, well-drained soil. Its deep raspberry-red, heart-shaped petals create bold, velvety flowers from late spring through summer. The strawberry-like foliage remains attractive throughout the season, providing a tidy groundcover effect. This compact perennial brings intense color to rock gardens, borders, and cottage-style plantings.
