I have found the French name: "Petite Potentille" and I have hunted high and low with no result. Does anyone know where I can get plants (in France) or seeds (anywhere)?
I do know that it is also known as 'Spring cinquefoil'.

Thank you again.
I thought "cinquefoil" was French, meaning "five leaf". The little leaf
is divided into five parts.
You might try the botanical name -- Potentilla neumanniana (also known
as P. verna) -- which should be the same in all nations and languages.
