Potentilla fruticosa 'Goldfinger' is a compact, bushy deciduous shrub prized for its profusion of large, rich golden-yellow flowers produced over an exceptionally long season from late spring right through to autumn. With neat, dark green pinnate foliage and a naturally tidy, mound-forming habit, this reliable and easy-to-grow shrub makes an excellent choice for borders, low hedging, container planting or adding colour to mixed planting schemes. A fantastic bee-friendly plant, it provides a valuable and long-lasting source of nectar and pollen for pollinators throughout the summer months.

'Goldfinger' is one of the most popular Potentilla varieties, noted for producing some of the largest flowers in the group. It is fully hardy, tolerant of most soil types and requires very little maintenance once established, making it ideal for gardeners of all experience levels.

This plant is supplied in a 2 litre pot, well-rooted and ready for planting out in the garden or into a larger container.
