Description
Years’ worth of work have led to this dream come true! While you may have seen other orange potentillas, none of them hold their color through the summer like Happy Face® Orange. Its little blooms are a cheerful creamsicle hue and they actually stay that way. They arrive in incredible quantities all throughout the growing season. No matter the growing conditions. Potentilla gets a sad wrap as a parking lot plant, but that’s just because it is so dang reliable. No worries about deer, drought, or salt. It’s ready to feed pollinators wherever you plant it, as edging, groundcover, or as a mass planting in the border.
Top reasons to grow Happy Face Orange potentilla?
- Tough North American native plant
- Long bloom time
- Feeds pollinators
Prefers moist, well drained soils but will tolerate poor, dry conditions once established. Prune off one third of the branches in late winter to keep the habit full and attractive.
Due to its extreme toughness and long bloom time, potentilla is a versatile landscape plant. It is often planted en masse in parking lots and traffic islands, but at home, it works well as an edging, foundation planting, or even among many other plants in a flower garden.
