Potentilla fruticosa 'Red Joker'
Potentilla fruticosa 'Red Joker', also known as 'Red Joker' shrubby cinquefoil, is a compact deciduous shrub prized for its unique flowering with warm and changing hues. This variety forms a small, dense, rounded bush that is perfect for borders, rock gardens, sunny flowerbeds, and low-maintenance landscaping. From early summer until early autumn, the shrub produces an abundance of orange-red to brick-red flowers, sometimes with coppery tones depending on the temperature and sunlight. This warm coloration adds a vibrant and decorative touch to the garden throughout the season. Its fine grayish-green foliage creates a light texture that beautifully highlights the flowers. Very hardy and undemanding, this potentilla tolerates ordinary soils, periods of drought, and urban conditions well.
