The Pacific Silverweed (Potentilla pacifica) is a low-growing perennial (6") with pinnately compound green leaves with silvery undersides. The yellow, saucer-shaped flowers appear late spring through summer. Potentilla spreads very quickly and makes a lovely groundcover in moist areas. They need sun and regular water. ^
