Potentilla f. 'Gold Drop'

This compact deciduous shrub boasts a low, mounding habit, reaching a mature height of 1-2 feet and a similar spread, making it ideal for small gardens and borders. Hardy in zones 2-7, it thrives in full sun and tolerates a wide range of soil types, including poor or sandy soils, as long as they are well-drained. Bright yellow flowers adorn this plant throughout the growing season, providing a vibrant display from late spring to fall. The finely-textured green foliage does not offer significant fall color, but its cheerful blooms more than compensate. Deer-resistant and low maintenance, it is a great choice for gardeners looking to add a splash of reliable color to their landscapes.
