A very cold-hardy native plant, Potentilla is a durable, low-maintenance choice for landscapes. It will tolerate poor soils and clay soils, and has good rabbit-resistance. Established plants will tolerate some drought. Happy Face® Pink Paradise has clear pink, semi-doubled flowers that hold their color better than other pink varieties. Best in cool climates, as the pink color may fade in intense heat. This is an excellent choice for cold-climate landscapes that need low-maintenance flowers all summer long.
