Drymocallis arguta (PRAIRIE CINQUEFOIL)

bloom Jun-Sep | height 2’ | full to part-sun

Leaf texture and color are wonderful with this plant —not to mention the sweet little strawberry-like flower that presents atop a tall stem and provide for many small bees.  Mix it in with a finer textured sedge or equal statured tall stemmed plants for a beautiful flower display.

This species is native to Cook County, and can stand up to dry soil —making it a perfect Pollinator Parkway plant.

Plants that grow well with Drymocallis: Carex spp. (sedges), Verbena stricta (hoary vervain), Koeleria macrantha (June grass)
