Description

The Double Punch® Pink shrubby cinquefoil charms with its compact, rounded habit and its particularly long-lasting soft pink flowering. Its double flowers, in a stable pink shade, are uncommon among cinquefoils. They bring a delicate and refined note to the garden. This low, dense, well-proportioned shrub maintains a neat appearance all season long. Very hardy and easy to grow, it is suitable for beds and borders and container cultivation on a sunny terrace.

This Double Punch® Pink cinquefoil ('Minpopink05') belongs to the Rosaceae family and derives from Potentilla fruticosa (or Dasiphora fruticosa according to recent nomenclature), a species native to the temperate and cold regions of the northern hemisphere: North America, Europe, and Asia. Selected by Hortival Diffusion in France, the Double Punch® series brings together varieties with double flowers in various colours, all appreciated for their harmonious habit and remarkable floriferousness.
Potentilla Double Punch® Pink reaches approximately 50 cm in height and spread at maturity. Its flowering begins in June, continues throughout the summer, and it then has a second flush in early autumn, until the first cold spells. The medium-sized flowers (2.5 to 3 cm in diameter) are double and a uniform pink that does not fade in the sun. The deciduous, finely pinnate foliage is composed of small, narrow, elongated leaflets in a deep green, forming a discreet backdrop that highlights the flowering. Hardy down to −20 °C, this cinquefoil adapts to a wide range of soils, provided they are well-drained. 

The Double Punch® Pink shrubby cinquefoil is an ideal plant for your beds, borders, and terraces. Its soft pink flowering harmonises perfectly with other cinquefoils in the range, such as ‘Double Punch® Pastel’ or ‘Double Punch® Cream’, for a soft and romantic scene. Combine it with floriferous dwarf and mini roses or low-growing perennials like Nepeta ‘Cat’s Pajamas’ to enjoy a garden full of colour all summer long. Compact, resilient, and very hardy, it adapts equally well to small gardens and to containers on the balcony.

Planting and care

Potentilla fruticosa Double Punch Pink is hardy and withstands low temperatures (-20°C). It prefers a sunny position to flower well, but tolerates partial shade. Its only real requirement concerns the nature of the soil in which it is planted. It needs ordinary, rather poor, very well-drained soil. In heavy or clay soils that do not suit it, it is advisable to place it on a slope or rock garden to improve drainage. It is also possible to lighten the soil at planting time by adding coarse sand and gravel to achieve better drainage. Another quality to add to its list of merits is its good drought tolerance once established. This shrubby cinquefoil does not require much maintenance.

Care

Pruning instructions A simple annual rejuvenation pruning is necessary to cut back the stems that bore the previous year's flowers, just above a bud, in early spring, to stimulate regrowth and keep your potentilla in its bushy form. It is also advisable to remove faded flowers as they appear throughout the flowering period to prolong it.
