Family Rosaceae

Potentilla fruticosa 'Little Pot Of Gold', known as shrubby cinquefoil 'Little Pot Of Gold', is a small deciduous shrub highly valued for its abundant flowering and compact size, making it ideal for small spaces. This variety forms a dense, rounded bush that integrates perfectly into borders, rockeries, sunny flowerbeds, and low-maintenance landscaping. From early summer to early autumn, the shrub produces a multitude of bright golden-yellow flowers that resemble small wild rose blooms, illuminating the garden for several months. Its fine grayish-green foliage creates a light texture that beautifully highlights the vibrant blossoms. Very hardy and tolerant, this potentilla adapts well to ordinary well-drained soils, tolerates drought once established, and is very resistant to cold climates.
