Discover the versatility of Potentilla (syn. Dasiphora) fruticosa or Shrubby Cinquefoil, a native shrub to the cool, temperate, and subarctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere. This sturdy shrub thrives in high altitudes and can grow 1-4 ft tall with an upright to sprawling habit. Embrace its potential as a medium size informal hedge and add character to your garden with its long branches and shreddy bark from older stems. Admire its lush foliage divided into five to seven pinnate leaflets and the delicate charm of its terminal buttercup-shaped, pale to bright yellow flowers. For survival enthusiasts, the bark serves as excellent tinder for friction fires. The plant is far more than just eye-candy or a fire-starter: it's also a significant part of herbal practices. Relish its remedial benefits, as its dried leaves can be brewed into a tea, serving as an astringent or a substitute for China tea. Moreover, juice from the root helps treat indigestion. Adaptable to different soil types and tolerant to drought, this hardy shrub is a green choice for every gardener. Boost your garden's functionality and aesthetic appeal with Potentilla fruticosa.
