Cheerful yellow! The little flowers of the standard cinquefoil 'Goldfinger' (Potentilla fruticosa) are a treat for the eyes. The flowers also bloom all summer and autumn! For even more enjoyment. The standard cinquefoil is perfectly at home on a patio or balcony, and can of course also be planted in the garden.
The fruticosa is fairly winter-hardy but cannot tolerate extreme frost. Position the plant in a sunny spot. The cinquefoil prefers well-drained soil. Keep the soil slightly moist at all times, however, the plant can also handle being dry for a short period.
