Cinquefoil
Potentilla Fruticosa Elizabeth
Potentilla Elizabeth is one of the best varieties of this deciduous shrub available, with masses of beautiful bright yellow flowers resembling wild roses from late spring to mid autumn. These blooms are borne above mounds of small, dark green leaves and provide excellent colour throughout the summer. It makes for an unusual and delightfully informal long flowering hedge, or is equally good as an inclusion into a mixed border. Compact and rounded in habit, although it will tolerate partial shade it flowers best in full sun. This fully hardy shrub can be expected to reach a height of 1 metre with a potential spread of 1.5 metres.
