Potentilla fruticosa 'Abbotswood' | Abbotswood Shrubby Cinquefoil

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Potentilla fruticosa 'Abbotswood' produces crisp white flowers from late spring through early fall, each bloom opening with five rounded petals surrounding a soft yellow center. The blossoms appear continuously along the stems, providing a long season of color. Finely divided leaves form soft, gray-green foliage composed of small leaflets that create a light, textured canopy across the plant.

This cultivar traces its heritage to Potentilla fruticosa native to northern regions of North America, Europe, and Asia. In gardens it provides extended seasonal interest in borders and mixed plantings where the steady flowering and fine foliage contribute texture and lasting color.
