Potentilla - Setting Sun
Potentilla - Setting Sun Potentilla - Setting Sun, Potentilla fruticosa 'Setting Sun', is characterized by its compact habit, dense grey-green foliage, and unusual peach colored flowers which bear a darker peach-red eye. These peach-colored flowers set Setting Sun apart from the other cultivars. Also known as Shrubby Cinequefoil, it is a lovely dwarf summer-flowering shrub. This potentilla is ideal for the garden landscape and especially along borders. It adapts well to harsh winter conditions that are long, dull and wet! Surviving in heavy clay, it does require moist well drained soil in full sun with partial shade. Setting Sun is a dense upright shrub that can be planted in early spring after the last frost. Creating a lasting impression, this Setting Sun plant is a sure winner because its blooms will last until the first hard frost! Potentillas attract butterflies!
