Potentilla fruticosa Bella Rosa

The Potentilla fruticosa 'Bella Rosa' is a variety of shrub potentilla that is interesting for its beautiful pink flowering that lasts for several months. Its small flowers adorn a naturally rounded and compact bush that greatly impacts the garden or a large pot. Plant this potentilla in a small shrub bed, along a path, in the sun, in well-drained soil.

The Potentilla fruticosa 'Hachlila' Bella Rosa® is a recent German horticultural creation. It is a woody shrub that belongs to the Rosaceae family. It is a compact bush that offers long-lasting flowering from June until October. It's a pretty single flower with five petals, well spread out, quite large (3-4 cm) and comes in two shades of pink, enhanced by a yellow stamen centre. Bees and butterflies appreciate this flowering. The foliage is deciduous, appearing in spring and drying up in autumn. It is green, with small, narrow leaves measuring 2 to 3 cm.
This shrub potentilla forms a rounded dome of 60 cm in all directions in about ten years.

The 'Bella Rosa' Potentilla is perfect for flowering a border, highlighting the edge of a path, or bringing life to a small slope. It will also make a superb flowering pot if you plant it in a container on your balcony or terrace. It grows in most garden soils, even moderately dry and chalky ones, in full sun or partial shade. Once well-rooted, it proves to be water-efficient. This pink variety will have a beautiful effect when paired with colourful shrubs that are just as easy to grow as it is. For example, choose dwarf abelias, white or pink ground cover roses, and other white varieties of shrub potentillas ('Double Punch Cream') or pink ones ('Pink Paradise').
