Are you wilting in the heat? Goldfinger Potentilla is a sun lover
that thrives in this heat!

The sunny yellow bloomer is perfect
for a hot dry place, like a sunny hillside or a xeriscape rock garden.
Potentilla is one of the longest blooming shrubs; it blooms all summer.

Goldfinger Potentilla grows 3 feet tall by 4 feet wide,
it is the perfect height in front of tall grasses or evergreens.
I also recommend planting Sedums, a sun loving groundcover, in front of
the Potentilla for a contrast in foliage and the sedum bloom in fall as
the Potentilla blooms fade.

Potentilla are naturally rounded, but can be
sheared after flowering to shape and encourage reblooming.
