Potentilla fruticosa
'Abbotswood'
Abbotswood Bush Cinquefoil
Mike's
Opinion
"
Use as a specimen plant or large mass. 'Abbotswood' is a very reliable plant and one of my personal favourites. It is not tolerant of road salt and may be prone to rodent damage. Prune regularly to keep it looking its best.
