Family Rosaceae

Potentilla fruticosa 'Bella Bianca', commonly known as ‘Bella Bianca’ shrubby cinquefoil, is a compact deciduous shrub prized for its abundant flowering and luminous color. This variety forms a small, dense, rounded bush that fits perfectly in borders, rockeries, sunny flower beds, and low-maintenance landscaping. From early summer to early autumn, the shrub produces a multitude of bright pure white flowers that light up the garden for several months. This prolonged flowering attracts pollinators and adds a fresh and elegant touch to beds. Its fine grayish-green foliage creates a light and delicate 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.
