Description
Potentilla fruticosa 'Marmalade' is a variety of bushy potentilla with dense vegetation that produces bright orange double flowers. The bush has a naturally compact and rounded habit that does not require pruning. It is adorned with dark green foliage and blooms throughout the summer. Resistant to frost and water-efficient, it thrives in the sun in large borders and in pots on balconies. It is an easy and generous plant that thrives in any well-drained soil.
The Potentilla fruticosa 'Jefmarm' or 'Marmalade' is a recent horticultural creation by Dr. Wilbert Ronald from Jeffries Nursery, near Winnipeg in Canada. It is a woody shrub that belongs to the rose family, just like roses. This 'Marmalade' variety is exceptionally hardy. It has a rounded, bushy habit and particularly dense vegetation. At maturity, the plant will measure approximately 80 cm in all directions. Its slender and branched branches are brown, peel with age, and bear deciduous foliage that disappears in winter. The small size of the leaves, divided into narrow leaflets, gives a beautiful lightness to the dark green silhouette of this plant. The delicate flowers are double cups, well open, with a 2-3 cm diameter. The petals display shades of orange, and golden stamens occupy the centre of the flower. The abundant flowering, starting in June and ending in September, is generally more intense at the beginning of the period. It then loses vigour during the season if the soil is too dry.
In the sun, the bushy potentillas will deliver flowers with more vibrant colours, while in partial shade, the colour will be slightly less intense. These trouble-free plants, generous and beautifully coloured, are ideal for brightening up the garden or balcony effortlessly and sustainably. With their Scottish rose-like appearance and very modest requirements, they can be used in multiple ways and planted anywhere: in flower beds, rockeries, borders, low hedges, containers... Under most climates and in any well-drained soil. The 'Marmalade' potentilla will be particularly striking when paired with bushy salvias in blue, orange, or red colours, along with yarrows, Gauras, globe thistles, Corsican spurge, and low grasses like Stipa tenuifolia. It pairs ideally with 'Hidcote' lavender for a warm and fragrant atmosphere. Potentillas create stunning large borders in front of a screen of evergreen shrubs.

Planting and care
A very easy-to-care-for plant, the 'Marmalade' Potentilla fruticosa is hardy and can withstand very low negative temperatures (-20°C). It prefers a sunny exposure. Its only absolute requirement concerns the nature of the soil where it is planted. Indeed, it requires ordinary soil that is not too rich and well-drained, with a tendency towards limestone but not too arid. Heavy, clayey soils are not suitable for it. In this case, placing it on a slope or in a rockery will be necessary to facilitate water drainage. It is also possible to lighten the soil when planting by adding coarse sand and gravel to improve drainage. An additional quality to add to its achievements is its good tolerance to drought once established. The shrubby potentilla does not require much maintenance. Flowering on the shoots of the year and simple annual pruning is sufficient. It is recommended to cut in half the stems that have borne flowers the previous year, just above a bud, in early spring to stimulate regrowth and maintain the beautifully bushy shape of your potentilla. Removing faded flowers as they appear during flowering is also advisable, as it prolongs them 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.
