Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Another great, tough, potentilla, a mound a foot or so tall of appealingly fuzzy foliage (one of those plants everyone will be petting... it is too soft not to) topped with screaming yellow flowers in early summer. Some potentilla are a bit stingy when it comes to flower display, but this one actually flowers heavily enough to be very pleasing indeed. Reported as zone 2 hardy. Yeah, zone 2 people.This thing is tough. - Joseph
