Potentilla is a cheerful and reliable deciduous shrub admired for its abundant, long-lasting blooms and low-maintenance nature. From late spring through autumn, it produces a continuous display of bright, five-petaled flowers in shades of yellow, pink, red, or white, creating a colourful addition to mixed borders, rock gardens, or foundation plantings. The small, finely textured foliage remains attractive even when not in bloom, forming a neat, compact mound that fits well in both formal and informal garden settings.

Known for its hardiness and ability to thrive in a wide range of conditions, Potentilla is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking easy-care colour throughout the growing season. Its pollinator-friendly flowers make it a welcome addition to wildlife gardens as well.
