Product description
The “Pink Beauty” Potentilla is a gorgeous, decorative plant which contrasts its bright pink flowers with its blue-green leaves. It is a deciduous shrub which tends to grow into a spherical shape.
Once they are established, they need very little care or maintenance. They do prefer soils that are well-drained and should not be planted in areas near where water collects or forms after rain. They are also very good for low-water or rock garden installations.
It stands out as a landscape plant because of its delicate appearance, but contrasts that with its ability to survive and thrive along with other larger decorative yard plants. Also beneficial, is that while deer tend to stay away from the plant, butterflies do enjoy the many flowers it provides for nectar and shelter.
Once the flowers open in late spring/early summer, they last for several months until the frosts of autumn, allowing you to enjoy this wonderful landscaping beauty.
They also do a proper job being arranged in borders or accenting and accompanying hedge rows. Other added benefits that relate to their hardiness is that they do well in urban environments and are generally disease and pest free.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Prune Potentilla annually in late winter or early spring to encourage compact growth and abundant flowering throughout the season.
How to Water
Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. Once established, they are drought-tolerant but benefit from occasional watering during prolonged dry periods. Avoid overwatering, as they dislike soggy soil.
How to Plant
Choose a sunny or partially shaded location with well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball. Place the plant at the same depth it was in its container, backfill, and firm the soil. Water thoroughly after planting and add mulch to retain moisture and reduce weeds.
