Goldfinger Shrubby Potentilla, or Goldfinger Shrubby Cinquefoil, is a busy deciduous shrub that produces heaps of brilliant, highlighter yellow blossoms, approximately 1 inch in diameter, that deepen in color as the season progresses. Its vivid, contrasting green foliage is divided into three to seven leaflets, and compacted into a 3 to 4 foot mound with a spread of 4 to 5 feet. The Goldfinger Shrubby Potentilla continuously blooms from mid-spring until late-summer.

Native to the northern United States, the Goldfinger Shrubby Potentilla is an easy-to-manage, low-maintenance variety of Potentilla. It is deer and critter resistant and attracts butterflies with its stunning bright flowers. It is a very hardy plant that is salt, cold and drought tolerant, as well as pest and disease resistant.

Goldfinger Shrubby Potentilla Care

Goldfinger Shrubby Potentilla should be planted in partial to light shade. If grown in full sun, the flowers will fade. It prefers moist, well-drained soil, and should be watered regularly. To reduce the need for watering, add a 2 to 3 inch layer of bark mulch around the plant to keep the soil moist. Goldfinger Shrubby can survive in poor soils, drought and heat, especially once it has reached maturity. To plant, dig a hole twice the width of the pot with the top of the root ball at level with the soil.

You should lightly prune your Goldfinger Shrubby Potentilla into its classic mounded shape after the flowers have dissipated for the season. Cut away the oldest stems to encourage a better bloom for the coming season. It should also be fertilized in early spring before new growth begins.

Goldfinger Shrubby Potentilla Spacing

The Goldfinger Shrubby Potentilla makes a beautiful accent border or perennial bed and is especially striking when planted together in mass. It is a trouble-free plant that should be spaced 2 to 3 feet apart from center to center.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
