Bring sunshine and smiles to your garden all summer with masses of extra-large, bright blooms on this beautiful plant. Happy Face® Yellow Potentilla is one of the longest blooming shrubs. This stunning variety is smothered in yellow flowers with gold eyes from late spring to frost. Mounds of small, pinnate, dark green leaves provide great contrast to the brilliant blooms. It grows to a height of 24-36 inches. An extremely durable Potentilla, it is low maintenance, and carefree.
The flowers attract butterflies; the shrub is the host plant for species of skippers. It has a mounded and well branched growth habit. Happy Face® Yellow Potentilla is not only pest and disease resistant, but also repels deer and rabbits. This native North American species withstands summer drought and winter cold; it is great for a low-water garden or for xeriscape application. Utilize it in a sunny, mixed border, in a foundation planting, or as informal hedging. Use it in mass plantings or as a single, specimen plant. You may plant it in a container.
Happy Face® Yellow Potentilla Care
It thrives in zones 2a to 7b. It is not fussy about soil but don’t plant it in an extremely wet or extremely dry area. It will tolerate poor, dry conditions when established. Water the shrub occasionally once it is established, unless it is in a container when it will need consistent hydration. Little fertilizer is needed. If you wish, you can give it a granular, rose fertilizer in spring. This plant is tolerant of salt. It likes a part sun or full sun location.
Happy Face® blooms on new wood. Prune one-third in late winter to keep it looking attractive. If you wish, you can rejuvenate older plants by shearing them back to six inches above the ground. For winter care of this plant, a 2-3-inches layer of mulch is all that is needed.
Happy Face® Yellow Potentilla Spacing
The spacing in mass plantings is 36-48 inches between plants. When planting in a container, this shrub needs a soil depth of 18 inches to 2 feet. Always remember to choose a container with good drainage.

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).

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.
