Potentilla fruticosa 'Limelight'
Potentilla fruticosa 'Limelight', also known as 'Limelight' shrubby cinquefoil, is a deciduous ornamental shrub with a compact and rounded habit, appreciated for its bright and long-lasting lemon-yellow blooms. From early summer until the first frosts, it produces a continuous profusion of single, bright, and vibrant flowers that illuminate borders and beds in full sun. Its finely cut green foliage offers a light and elegant texture throughout the season. Very hardy and undemanding, Potentilla fruticosa 'Limelight' tolerates poor, dry, or slightly alkaline soils, provided drainage is adequate. Ideal for borders, low hedges, or mass planting, it is a reliable and durable choice for providing a constant colorful presence in Nordic residential landscapes.
