Shrubby Cinquefoil Potentilla fruticosa - Shrub
Potentillas come in a range of colors 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.

| 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. |
