This variety, a variation of Potentilla fruticosa, also known as shrub cinquefoil, is characterised by its striking yellow flowers that appear in early summer and often last until autumn. The delicate petals form a beautiful contrast to the dense, green foliage, which often retains an attractive colour even in winter.

It thrives in most soil types, as long as they are well-drained, and tolerates both sunny and semi-shady locations. This versatility makes it a popular choice for landscaping, from formal gardens to semi-natural settings. Potentilla 'Elizabeth' is also known for its low maintenance requirements. It is an extremely low-maintenance plant that requires minimal attention to thrive. Regular watering during prolonged dry periods and occasional pruning in spring to encourage growth and maintain shape are usually sufficient to maintain its beauty.
The art of combining plants with Potentilla
In gardens, Potentilla fruticosa 'Elizabeth' is often used as a specimen plant, in mixed plantings or as a low hedge element. It is particularly popular with lavender or ornamental grasses such as Festuca glauca. Its compact growth habit and eye-catching flowers make it an attractive accent in any garden. By combining plants with different growth forms and textures, you can add visual interest and dimension to your garden.
A food source for native insects
