Potentilla fruticosa `Pink Beauty

Shrub: Potentilla

Clear-pink blooms cover shrub from summer until frost: colour fades in full sun and intensifies in cool weather. Compact, bushy shrub with small, fine-textured green foliage. Good as a specimen plant, low hedge or in mass plantings. Tough, adaptable plant that is drought and chinook tolerant and deer resistant. Tolerant of a wide variety of soil conditions but should be kept moist until established: during drought will benefit from extra watering. Fertilize in spring with a good compost or an all purpose fertilizer before new growth emerges. Blooms on new wood: annual pruning helps keep the shrub looking tidy and encourages new growth. Cut back one-third of the plant in late winter/early spring before new growth emerges or in fall when plant is dormant.

Available in select potted sizes.
