500 Prairie Cinquefoil Seeds - Drymocallis arguta Native White Wildflower for Pollinator Gardens

Prairie Cinquefoil (Drymocallis arguta) is a native perennial wildflower that brings a touch of wild beauty to meadows, prairies, and naturalized gardens. Its clusters of creamy white flowers bloom atop slender stems in late spring and summer, attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. The plant's deep green, strawberry-like foliage forms a tidy clump that remains attractive throughout the growing season.

This hardy native is well-suited for pollinator gardens, meadow plantings, and low-maintenance landscapes. It tolerates dry conditions once established and thrives in full sun to partial shade, making it a versatile choice for challenging spots. Prairie Cinquefoil is also a valuable component of native plantings, providing nectar and pollen for beneficial insects.

Planting & Care

Sow Prairie Cinquefoil seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors in fall. Lightly press seeds into the soil surface; do not cover deeply, as light aids germination. Keep soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge. Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them to their permanent location after hardening off.

Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a deep root system. Thereafter, Prairie Cinquefoil is relatively carefree and drought-tolerant. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage additional blooms and prevent self-seeding if desired. In late fall, cut back foliage to tidy the plant.
