Family Rosaceae

Potentilla fruticosa 'Bella Bellissima', known as shrubby cinquefoil 'Bella Bellissima', is a compact deciduous shrub renowned for its abundant flowering and very decorative vibrant pink hue. This variety forms a small, dense, rounded bush that is perfect for borders, rockeries, and sunny flowerbeds. From early summer to early autumn, the shrub is covered in a multitude of intense pink flowers, sometimes subtly nuanced with paler tones in the center, creating a luminous and elegant effect in the garden for several months. This prolonged flowering attracts pollinating insects and adds a colorful touch to landscape designs. Its fine grayish-green foliage creates a light texture that beautifully highlights the flowers. Very hardy and easy to grow, this potentilla adapts well to ordinary well-drained soils, tolerates drought once established, and is very resistant to cold climates.
