They have already sent me yellow potentillas twice, even though I ordered white ones. Reason: "you can't see the colours when they're not in flower". What a disgrace. A company this large doesn't know the colours of their plants when they're not in bloom. Very few plants are sent with flowers, normally they are too young when dispatched. Their plants come from God knows where, but not from their own nursery. They are shipped without any checks and the producers don't care. I would be very careful about what I buy from this company, as you only receive a credit note. You have to pay the delivery charges again if you want to reorder the plants, which I did, but the delivery was wrong yet again. What appalling quality control!

Description
Potentilla fruticosa Double Punch Pastel is a shrub-like potentilla with a wild charm: the soft shade of its flowers, a white with peach and salmon nuances, will find its place in romantic flowerbeds and animate them for many months. Compact, it reaches 50 cm (20in) in height and 1 m (3ft) in width, and can therefore be integrated into even the smallest gardens. Hardy and resistant, this shrub is a low-maintenance, and simply requires good drainage.
Potentilla fruticosa is a small bush, belonging to the Rosaceae family. Botanists now call it Dasiphora fruticosa, but this name is rarely used by nurserymen... and their customers. This species forms a branching shrub, with deciduous leaves consisting of 5 elongated leaflets, and emitting numerous slightly crumpled 5-petaled flowers between May and October (sometimes with a break in August). While the shrubby potentilla, very common in our grandmothers' gardens, is sometimes seen as a somewhat outdated plant, new cultivars bring it back into fashion, especially by offering plants with better performance and previously unseen tones.
The Double Punch Pastel potentilla is a charming variety obtained in France by Hortival, belonging to the Double Punch series. Its dark pink buds open into delicate double flowers with subtle shades of peach and salmon. A perfect choice for a romantic atmosphere! It is a compact and dense plant, well-branched, which will not exceed 50 cm (20in) in height and will spread from 80 cm (32in) to 1 m (3ft).
Robust and undemanding, the Double Punch Pastel shrubby potentilla has only one real requirement, a well-drained soil. Excess water during winter can indeed be fatal to the roots. On the other hand, it adapts perfectly well to poor, limestone soils and can withstand periods of drought. Light shade will highlight the pastel tones of this variety more than full sun. Very hardy, it will withstand temperatures as low as -25°C (-13°F). It is advisable to remove faded flowers from time to time to encourage continued flowering.
Combine it with other romantic plants such as 'White Barlow' columbine, 'Prinz Heinrich' Japanese anemone, 'Little Carlow' heart-leaved aster, 'Pam's Choice' foxglove, or 'Nimbus' geranium for a fresh and charming scene! It is also a good plant for groups of pots on your patio or balcony.

Planting and care
Very easy to grow, Potentilla fruticosa Double Punch Pastel is hardy and can withstand low temperatures, (-25°C (-13°F). It prefers a sunny or partially shaded position. Its only real requirement is the nature of the soil where it is planted. It requires ordinary, poor, sandy, or even rocky and well-drained soil. It is also possible to lighten the soil at the time of planting by adding sand and gravel to improve drainage. It is also drought tolerant once established. The shrubby potentilla does not require much maintenance. It flowers on the shoots of the same year, and a simple annual pruning is necessary to refresh it. It is recommended to prune back the stems that have borne flowers the previous year in early spring, just above a bud, in order to stimulate regrowth and maintain the beautifully bushy shape of your Potentilla. It is also desirable to remove faded flowers to encourage flowering to continue for a long time.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
