Tangerine Potentilla

Potentilla fruticosa ‘Tangerine’

Also called shrubby cinquefoil or bush cinquefoil, Potentilla is one of the most popular landscape shrubs in our climate. It has a long bloom time, exceptional hardiness, and low maintenance. This sturdy plant stands up to drought, air pollution, and salt, and has earned a reputation of being veritably indestructible by tolerating a wide range of growing conditions. Plants can get sparse without 6 or more hours of sunlight. Pair with spring blooming bulbs to screen bare branches until leaves emerge. This variety has grey-green foliage and produces orange-tinged flowers that fade to shades of yellow.
