Overview & Description

The Goldfinger Potentilla (Potentilla fruticosa ‘Goldfinger’) is a popular, long-blooming shrub known for its abundant, showy flowers. From late spring until frost, it is profusely covered with large, saucer-shaped, vibrant deep golden-yellow flowers . Its small, pinnate, dark green leaves provide a fine-textured, dense backdrop, setting it apart from coarser plants. This award-winning, hardy shrub is a reliable performer.

Growth & Size

This variety exhibits a bushy, compact, rounded to mounded growth habit with a dense, multi-stemmed form. It typically reaches a mature size of about 3 feet in height and 3-4 feet in width, growing at a slow to moderate rate.

Additional Notes

It blooms continuously from late spring through early fall. Exceptionally hardy to Zone 2, it is drought-tolerant, low-maintenance, and adaptable to a wide range of well-drained soils, including poor and dry conditions. It thrives in full sun to partial shade, is deer resistant, tolerates urban pollution, and attracts butterflies. An outstanding choice for borders, mass plantings, hedges, foundation plantings, or xeriscaping.
