Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The delightful clear-pink flowers are a joyful sight and happily they bloom from spring all the way through autumn. The pink color fades just a bit in the hottest weather; bright green foliage creates a neat and easy-care 3 x 3' mound which is perfect for borders, containers or mass planting, really nice in cottage gardens.

Potentilla is a fantastic shrub for its heavy flowering in early summer when many other shrubs have finished their flowering cycle. It is extremely easy to care for and is tolerant of growing in poor soils and in both sun and shade. It does its best when planted in drier sites that are watered once per week or less and will survive desert conditions once established. It is also very cold tolerant, down to USDA Zone 3 but will also thrive where summers are very hot and dry (at our nursery, NOT having days on end with temperatures well above 100 degrees would be unusual, and Potentilla thrives here).
Plants look and flower their best when pruned back hard during the winter every few years. It propagates very readily from both softwood and hardwood cuttings, so when you prune you can stick some of the branches in the ground in new locations and get more plants!
Small compact deciduous shrub that has clear pink flowers from June until first frost in the fall. Flowers may fade to white or yellow if exposed to warmer night temperatures. Fine-textured green foliage is bushy and full making this potentilla an excellent flowering border plant. Foliage turns yellow-brown in the fall and old canes should be removed or the entire plant cut back to the ground in order to keep a tidy appearance. Very cold hardy and drought tolerant.
