Yellow Potentilla Hedge (Potentilla fruticosa 'Goldfinger')

Yellow Potentilla Hedge Plants Description

Yellow Potentilla (Goldfinger) is a hardy deciduous shrub renowned for its bright yellow, buttercup-like flowers that bloom from late spring through autumn. This compact shrub typically reaches a height of around 1 metre, making it perfect for smaller garden spaces or as part of a mixed border.

Benefits:

Long blooming season: Enjoy months of vibrant yellow flowers, adding a splash of colour to your garden through summer and autumn.

Drought tolerant: Once established, Yellow Potentilla is highly drought-resistant, making it low maintenance and perfect for drier areas.

Attracts pollinators: Bees and butterflies are drawn to its flowers, encouraging biodiversity in your garden.

Versatile: Ideal for use in borders, rockeries, or as informal hedging. It’s also well-suited for containers or small garden spaces.

Cold hardy: This shrub thrives in colder climates and can withstand frost, making it a reliable choice for year-round interest.

Pruning Advice

To maintain the shape and health of Yellow Potentilla, prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead or damaged branches, and lightly trim to maintain a compact shape. For rejuvenation, more drastic pruning can be done by cutting back up to one-third of the shrub every few years to encourage fresh growth. Be careful not to prune too late in the season, as this may reduce flowering.

Further Information

Planting distances are largely a matter of preference. For bare root plants, spacing them at 3 plants per meter is sufficient, 5 plants is optimal, and 7 plants in a double staggered row will result in a denser hedge more quickly. Generally, smaller plants should be planted at a higher density. For cell-grown plants, spacing at 4 plants per meter in a single row or ideally 6 plants per meter in a staggered row is recommended.
