Potentilla fruticosa ‘Happy Face Pink Paradise’, known as Shrubby Cinquefoil ‘Happy Face Pink Paradise’, is a remarkable ornamental deciduous shrub, prized for its delicate and abundant pink blooms that last from spring to autumn, bringing light and color to flowerbeds, borders, or rock gardens. Its bushy, compact, and regular habit makes it easy to incorporate into a variety of landscapes, whether planted individually, in groups, or as a low hedge.

To plant Shrubby Cinquefoil ‘Happy Face Pink Paradise’, choose a suitable exposure: sun to partial shade. The recommended soil is well-drained. Water the root ball before planting it and ensure that water can drain after planting. During establishment, check the soil moisture by hand before watering again. Spread mulch around the base, leaving the crown clear. Avoid systematic fertilizer applications without considering the soil's richness. In Quebec, choose a period when the soil is thawed and easy to work with.

Allow a width of 90 cm (3 ft) to arrange this plant's space in the garden. The indicated height of 60 cm (2 ft) helps choose its position relative to neighboring plants.
