$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Potentilla fruticosa 'Monsidh' produces abundant creamy white flowers with a yellow eye from late spring through fall, creating a long season of color that attracts bees and other pollinators. Small, finely divided leaves are blue-green with a soft texture, forming a dense framework. The flowers are held above the foliage and open continuously over many months, while the finely textured leaves provide a neat, refined appearance between bloom cycles.

Originating from a species native to the cooler regions of the Northern Hemisphere, this cultivar reflects garden selection focused on prolonged flowering and ornamental appeal. It is well suited to borders, mass plantings, foundation gardens, and low hedging, where its extended bloom period and tidy habit provide dependable seasonal interest.
