Description
Bella Bellissima® Potentilla is a mid-sized rounded shrub that will bloom for months in the summer, adding easy charm and beauty to your yard. Potentillas are in the rose family, sometimes called Shrubby Cinquefoils. These widely popular plants are native to all northern hemisphere continents, including North America. Resilient plants can tolerate drought, air pollution, and salt air, making them ideal for urban environments and beachfront locations - however, they are not well-suited to southern regions with hot, humid summers.
These versatile shrubs can be grown as hedging or to spruce up a fenceline, massed along a slope, added as a focal point in a garden border, and even grown in containers. The flowers provide food for butterflies and pollinating insects, too. Plants will flower best in full sun, but some afternoon shade in warmer climates will help keep blooms last longer.
This native cultivar was bred for improved cold hardiness, so cold weather gardeners can grow it all the way down to Zone 3.
Q. What does 'potless plug' mean?
A. Thanks for asking! We're working to lower our use of plastic in our supply chain, the potless product for sale on this page is a part of this effort. When you buy a potless product, expect a well rooted plant whose root ball is contained in a bag rather than a plastic pot and a bag.
