Family Rosaceae

Potentilla fruticosa ‘Gold Star’, also known as Shrubby Cinquefoil ‘Gold Star’, is a deciduous ornamental shrub with a rounded, dense habit, recognized for its particularly bright, vivid yellow blooms. From early summer until the first frosts, it is covered in an abundance of dazzling golden-yellow single flowers that retain their intensity well in the sun. Its finely cut green foliage provides a light and uniform texture, ideal for structuring borders and sunny beds. Very hardy and easy to cultivate, Potentilla fruticosa ‘Gold Star’ tolerates poor, dry, or slightly alkaline soils, provided they are well-drained. Perfect for low hedges, mass plantings, or residential landscaping, it offers reliable and continuous flowering throughout the summer season.
