Shrubby Cinquefoil
Potentilla
Shrubby Cinquefoil
Resilient and undemanding perennials cherished for their long-blooming season, tidy appearance and attractive foliage, Potentillas endure poor soil, but insist on good drainage.
Delicate parchment-like 5-petaled flowers awash in hushed apricot-pink hues coupled with dainty tightly woven dark green leaves set this compact easily grown shrub apart. Promoting fine textured appeal, an attractive flourish of small narrowly divided foliage garbs the versatile twiggy habit that makes an excellent hardy choice for low hedges, foundations or mixed borders. ‘Apricot Whisper’ can handle sandy or gravel-strewn soil, but dislikes hot humid areas, and enjoys a midsummer trimming.
Blooms June–September
