Potentilla fruticosa 'Abbotswood'
Potentilla fruticosa 'Abbotswood', also known as shrubby cinquefoil ‘Abbotswood’, is a deciduous shrub highly valued for its abundant flowering and its great reliability in the garden. This vigorous variety forms a dense and slightly spreading bush that is perfect for borders, rockeries, sunny flowerbeds, and mass plantings. From early summer to early autumn, the shrub produces a multitude of bright pure white flowers that elegantly contrast with its fine grayish-green foliage. This prolonged bloom attracts pollinating insects and brings a fresh and elegant touch to the garden for several months. Its naturally slightly spreading habit allows for the creation of beautiful mass plantings or low hedges. Very hardy and undemanding, this potentilla adapts well to ordinary well-drained soils, tolerates drought once established, and is very resistant to cold climates.
