Happy Face® Pink Paradise Potentilla (Potentilla fruticosa) has large, semi-double pink flowers that hold their color longer than most other potentilla. They do fade a bit in intense heat, but make very reliable flowers in cooler climates, from zone 2-7. These are low maintenance and do not have to be deadheaded.
The shrub is drought tolerant after it is established. It is also salt tolerant, so can grow in places where the ice is salted or near an ocean beach. The green foliage makes a nice background for the pink flowers. This compact shrub is deciduous and deer resistant. Bees and butterflies love the blooms every year. Happy Face® Pink Paradise Potentilla is waterwise and pet friendly. It works as a border plant, landscape plant, or in mass plantings. The shrub is native to North America, so it is great for wildlife and easy to care for.
Happy Face® Pink Paradise Potentilla Care
Happy Face® Pink Paradise Potentilla prefers moderate or moist soil but it can tolerate dry conditions once it is established. It likes average soil fertility. Happy Face® Pink Paradise Potentilla needs full sun to part sun. Fertilize with a slow-release tree and shrub fertilizer when new growth begins.
The plant does need light pruning each year for best performance. Prune about a third of the branches to the ground in late winter.
Happy Face® Pink Paradise Potentilla Spacing
Happy Face® Pink Paradise Potentilla is a very compact shrub. It gets 2-3 feet tall and 2-3 feet wide. To provide good air circulation, you should allow 2-4 feet between plants, center on 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.

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.
