Description

Potentilla Fruticosa Primrose Beauty is a shrub with pale yellow flowers measuring 3 to 4 cm (1 to 2in). They stand out clearly against its lovely grey-green foliage, reminiscent of a strawberry plant.

It is ideal for creating a colourful accent in a flower bed.

Its abundant and long-lasting flowering, from June to September, as well as its hardiness, make it suitable for low hedges, flower beds, or mixed borders.

With a compact habit, it requires no maintenance.
