Description
Potentilla fruticosa 'Red Ace', known as shrubby cinquefoil 'Red Ace', is a small deciduous shrub highly valued for its abundant flowering and distinctive warm color. This variety forms a compact, rounded bush that is perfect for borders, rock gardens, sunny flowerbeds, and low-maintenance landscaping. From early summer to early autumn, the shrub is covered with a multitude of orange-red to copper-red flowers, sometimes slightly more orange in hot weather. This vibrant bloom brings a bright and warm touch to the garden for several months. Its fine grayish-green foliage creates a soft and light texture that beautifully highlights the flowers. Very hardy and undemanding, this potentilla toler tolerates ordinary soils well, drought once established, and urban conditions.
