Perennial of the Rosaceae family, this variety is native to the Himalayas, where it grows on grassy slopes, rocky edges, and high-altitude meadows, generally between 2,500 and 4,000 meters.
It forms upright to spreading clumps, reaching 30 to 45 cm in height when in bloom. The leaves are trifoliate, with oval-rounded leaflets, crenate-toothed edges; the upper surface is medium green with well-marked veins, while the underside is covered with a dense silvery silky tomentum that spills over the margins, giving the whole a very distinct bicolored appearance. It is this characteristic that the epithet argyrophylla reflects, which literally means "with silver leaves."
The flowers have five yellow petals, borne in loose cymes on upright stems. In its natural habitat, it blooms from June to August. In cultivation, it generally blooms from June to July.
It requires well-drained soil, moderately rich, in full sun. Hardy and undemanding, it adapts well to rock gardens and sunny borders.
