Shrubby cinquefoil is a beautiful and healing plant!

Walking through the Park noticed beautiful yellow flowers on the bushes, I was very interested in this plant. "Scapula shrub" as a flower is known since ancient times. Before the fight with the Nightingale the robber Ilya Muromets lay down on the ground near the swamp and breathed in the scent of Potentilla to feel the power and save their land from evil. Another hero – Ruslan-revived the living water taken from the source, around which grew paws. Indeed, this plant is not only a great decoration of the garden, but also has healing properties, is widely used in folk and official medicine. In the people different types of a Lapchatka for their properties call still Kuril tea, a mighty, a grass-a whisper, and the Latin name of a plant - Potentilla that means "power", "force".
There are many types of paws-and undersized, creeping grassy, and high semi-shrubby and shrubby, reaching 1.5 meters in height. To decorate the garden and use those and others. The first is bred for the sake of beautiful flowers, planted in curbs, on the Alpine hills, rockeries, the second is used for low and mixed hedges. Cinquefoil blooms in late may — early June. Grows in Western Siberia, the Urals and the Caucasus on the banks of swamps, streams, pastures, floodplains – wherever fresh and wet. Here is such interesting beautiful curative a plant there is in our parks.
