Shrubby cinquefoil is a popular ornamental plant in temperate regions. Different cultivars are variable with flowers ranging from white to yellow, orange and pink, but they are all hardy plants that produce flowers for much of the summer. The flowers are always small, flat, and round, but there are many dozens on each bush.
Conversely, the shrubby plants previously included in this genus are now separated in the genus Dasiphora, while some distinctive and apparently protocarnivorous [3] herbaceous cinquefoils are placed in Drymocallis. The marsh cinquefoil is now in the genus Comarum, and the three-toothed cinquefoil makes up the monotypic genus Sibbaldiopsis.
Potentilla recta, the sulphur cinquefoil [1] or rough-fruited cinquefoil, is a species of cinquefoil. It is native to Eurasia but it is present in North America as an introduced species, ranging through almost the entire continent except the northernmost part of Canada and Alaska. The plant probably originated in the Mediterranean Basin.
Potentilla norvegica is a species of cinquefoil known by the common names rough cinquefoil, [1] ternate-leaved cinquefoil, [2] and Norwegian cinquefoil. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] It is native to Europe, Asia, and parts of North America, and it can be found elsewhere as an introduced species .
Potentilla pensylvanica (P. pensylvanica)is a species of cinquefoil known by the common names Pennsylvania cinquefoil [1] and prairie cinquefoil [2] and in the language Shoshoni, it goes by the name Ku'-si-wañ-go-gǐp.

Argentina anserina (synonym Potentilla anserina) is a perennial flowering plant in the rose family, Rosaceae. It is known by the common names silverweed, common silverweed or silver cinquefoil.

Dasiphora is a genus of shrubs in the rose family Rosaceae, native to Asia, with one species D. fruticosa (shrubby cinquefoil), ranging across the entire cool temperate Northern Hemisphere. In the past, the genus was normally included in Potentilla as Potentilla sect. Rhopalostylae, [1] but genetic evidence has shown it to be distinct.
