Potentilla fruticosa 'Yellow Gem'
Potentilla fruticosa 'Yellow Gem', also known as Shrubby Cinquefoil 'Yellow Gem', is a deciduous ornamental shrub cherished for its long and bright flowering season and its excellent hardiness. This compact variety forms a small, dense, and rounded bush that is perfect for borders, flowerbeds, rockeries, and low-maintenance landscapes. From early summer until early autumn, the shrub is covered in an abundance of bright, vibrant yellow flowers resembling small wild rose blooms. This prolonged flowering attracts pollinators and adds a luminous touch to the garden for several months. Its fine, grayish-green foliage creates a soft, light texture that highlights the flowers. Very tolerant and easy to grow, Potentilla adapts well to ordinary soils and is highly resistant to cold, wind, and urban conditions.
