We have asked what people think about Potentilla.
Here are the answers:
I adore her. It’s healthy, resistant, and blooms for a long time.
Mary, UK
Its flowers look like miniature suns. Even when the real sun is running out.
Paul, NL
They are universal! I have them in my garden and I see them often in the city. And I like them every time and everywhere.
Simon, GER
They bloom for so long! And they are not afraid of winter. The brilliant thing is that you only need to trim them in spring and … nothing else needs to be done with them.
Paweł, PL
I like to combine different varieties and create, for example, warm, yellow, and orange compositions.
Sophie, FR
And so on and so on … just ask someone about Potentilla (known as shrubby cinquefoil what refers to the leaves – “cinq” means five and “foil” means leaf) to hear such positive comments.
We share the opinion of our interlocutors. Potentilla primarily:
- Bloom from summer to autumn.
- They are available in many colors and shades (white, pink, yellow, orange, and red). We can freely combine them and create interesting compositions.
- They are universal and suitable for short hedges, as cover plants, as an element of flower beds combined with conifers or perennials. In gardens and green areas.
- They are healthy and frost-resistant.
- Require minimal work – spring cutting, one-time fertilization, and rare watering
Perfect plants! Check what varieties are still available with us, also in the series of … hmmm … “dessert” varieties, which include such delicacies as:
Potentilla f. Citrus Tart ™
Potentilla f. Creme Brulee ™
Potentilla f. Lemon Meringue ™
Bon appetite 😉
Peculiarity
The number 5 is considered a lucky number. It’s a symbol of man as a microcosm. It’s important to us because we have five fingers and toes. We have five senses.
At school, in some countries, five means “very good”.

- P9 -> 80 pcs / variety
- P12 -> 75 pcs / variety
