Shrubby Cinquefoil - Potentilla fruticosa
- Shrub
    
Potentillas
come in a range of colours from white through pinks to deep red and also in
yellows, pale primrose to bright acid yellow. "Elizabeth" is one of the
best varieties available, with masses of beautiful, bright yellow flowers resembling
wild roses from late spring to mid autumn above mounds of small, dark green
leaves.
It makes for an
unusual and delightfully informal long flowering hedge, or is equally good as
an inclusion into a mixed border. Compact and rounded in habit, although it
will tolerate partial shade it flowers best in full sun.
Height and spread:
1m x 1.5m (3ft

| Pruning:
Prune in mid spring after flowering, trim in autumn also if required.
There is a tendency to retain old twiggy shoots, remove these to retain
a compact dense growth, also shorten long wayward shoots by up to a
half of their length. Sometimes responds to renovation if cut back to
about 15cm, 6" of the ground, if not then replace the plant. |
