Native to North America. Big, bright and nonstop blooming this potentilla is small enough to be grown in a pot. Once established tolerates poor soil and dry conditions and is deer resistant. Available in white and pink.
A low-maintenance perennial with many varieties that greet you in mid-spring to fall with a cloud of delicate white-to pink flowers dangling from long stems. Pollinators love it but plant is pest and disease free. Tolerates some shade but likes full sun. 2’-3’ tall but deer and rabbits stay clear.
Small but big in its spring-to-frost appeal. The mounded shrub reaches 12”-18” with branches of variegates leaves. Pink flowers emerge in spring amidst green foliage that shifts to shades of pink, cream and green. A slow grower with weekly water needs when planted in sun-to- part-sun conditions. Deer resistant. Can be planted in a pot. It is also available as ‘Purple Effect’ and the original My Monet.
