Extra large, snow-white flowers adorn this plant from spring to late summer. ‘Happy Face White’ potentilla has a dense habit with dark green lacy, foliage. Excellent for mass plantings, or a single specimen or border plant. Masses of blooms dot the delicate green foliage that will attract bees, butterflies and is deer resistant. A great little shrub for the perennial border.
A compact, dwarf shrub for the sunny or light shade location, with adequate moisture. Potentilla may suffer from a hot, dry location without extra watering until established. Begin pruning shrubs in the third year after planting to maintain shape. Potentillas can suffer some winter dieback in colder regions. In late Winter or early Spring before new growth emerges, cut out any dead or diseased wood. Lightly prune the entire plant to manage its shape. To restore older specimens, cut the shrub back by a third every few years. Flowers are self-cleaning and need no deadheading.
