Potentilla - Gold Drop
Potentilla - Gold Drop The Potentilla' Gold Drop', Potentilla fruticosa 'Gold Drop', also known as Buttercup Shrub or Shrubby Cinquefoil, displays attractive, yellow buttercup flowers all summer. Potentilla is a superb flowering shrub for northern gardens. It is tough and adaptable to many conditions except, it does not like wet soils.

Potentilla also serves as a butterfly nectar source and a host for butterfly larvae. It has an attractive green, copper fall color. Gold Drop is not particular about soil types or soil pH levels!
