Family Rosaceae

Potentilla fruticosa ‘Goldfinger’, also known as shrubby cinquefoil ‘Goldfinger’, is a deciduous shrub with a rounded and vigorous habit, recognized for the superior size and intensity of its golden yellow flowers. Very floriferous, it offers abundant blooms from early summer until the first frosts, ensuring a continuous luminous presence in sunny beds. Its finely cut green foliage adds texture and lightness to the landscape. Particularly hardy and adaptable, Potentilla fruticosa ‘Goldfinger’ tolerates poor, dry, or slightly alkaline soils well, provided they are well-drained. Ideal for borders, low hedges, or mass plantings, it is a reliable choice for adding color and dependability to Nordic gardens.
