Description
Tufted glandular perennial herb with reddish stems.[2]
Inflorescence a few-flowered cyme, rotate flowers 5-petalled, corolla and calyx spreading to reflexed, in this subspecies, white or yellow petals slightly shorter than sepals.[3]
Leaves are alternate, stipulate, odd-pinnate compound.[3]
Fruit is a glabrous achene.[3]
Bloom Period
June - August[2]
Distribution
BC and south to California, on both sides of the Cascades, and east to Montana.[3]
Habitat
Open areas from lowland meadows to forest openings.[2]
Early-seral, disturbance adapted, shade-intolerant, requiring well-drained soil.[4]
Uses
Nlaka'pamux use of decoction as a general tonic, and a stimulant tonic. [5]
Propagation
Cold stratification not required. Sticky cinquefoil seeds are stimulated to germinate by warm temperatures, and germination may be enhanced by a stratification period. Sticky cinquefoil germinates on bare soil in full sun and often germinates profusely following scarification resulting from either mechanical treatments or heavy livestock use. In a greenhouse, fresh, untreated sticky cinquefoil seeds germinated 9 days after being sown.[4]
