For a low maintenance shrub that provides a long season of colour, look no further than Potentilla fruticosa ‘Katherine Dykes’. This Shrubby Cinquefoil is one of the longest flowering of all shrubs! Enjoy a profusion of small, lemon-yellow, saucer-like blooms, set against a backdrop of small, mid-green leaves, from May all the way through to autumn. Perfect for a well-drained sunny border where it will thrive, even in poor soils. ‘Katherine Dykes’ is slightly taller than other varieties, making it a good choice for edging a pathway or growing as an informal boundary hedge.Height: 1.2m (4ft).
