Potentilla Shrubs (Cinquefoils)

Potentilla, commonly known as Bush Cinquefoil, is a garden favorite that promises beauty and resilience. With cheerful, buttercup-shaped flowers and finely textured foliage, it’s a standout shrub for any landscape. Did you know its name means “five-leaved”? This nod to its distinct leaf structure also extends to its blossoms, which are typically five-petalled—but modern varieties now boast stunning double petals for added charm.

These hardy, deciduous shrubs offer a dazzling array of flower colors, reminiscent of a glorious sunset. Blooming from mid-spring to mid-fall, Potentilla brightens gardens, borders, and hedges with its compact, mounded form that sometimes “colors outside the lines.” Whether your soil is pristine or less-than-perfect, Potentilla thrives in full sun and well-draining conditions. Plus, it’s highly drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, cold-hardy, and low-maintenance—an ideal choice for busy gardeners!
