Potentilla fruticosa 'Pink Princess'
Sku #31374
This delightful dwarf shrub is perfect for the front of a border with cheerful clear pink flowers that appear throughout summer and into fall against the fine textured, gray-green foliage. Shade tolerant but showiest in full sun, this hardy robust plant withstands poor soils and needs little more than an annual pruning to maintain its neat form. Deciduous.
