Description

Potentilla Yellow Queen is a perennial variety, with bright yellow, semi-double flowers measuring 2 to 3 cm (1 in) in diameter. They stand out distinctly against its lovely green foliage that is reminiscent of a strawberry plant.

It is ideal for creating a colourful mass in a flower bed.

Its abundant and long-lasting flowering period, from June to August, as well as its robustness, make it suitable for low hedges, flower beds, or mixed borders.

With a compact habit, it requires no maintenance.
