Glossy, intense, yellow-petaled Potentilla warrensi is a delight in itself, but perhaps its most valuable characteristic is its effectiveness in combination with various other plants. It makes a neat, compact, 1-1/2-foot clump showered with a profusion of bright saucer-like flowers. Last year a couple of plants of this potentilla were placed in front of the soft orange star lily (Lilium concolor), which in turn was in front of two large clumps of Memorial daisy and yellow sundrops, and then at the back and to one side of these was the blue of Anchusa azurea Dropmore. The grouping was in the full sun and was a wonderful burst of color for a month.
