The Abbotswood Potentilla is an elegant, traditional garden favourite that offers a pristine, clean look with the toughness and resilience this genus is famous for. This versatile shrub provides a continuous display of bright white blooms against a backdrop of unique, blue-green foliage, providing reliable beauty with almost zero effort.
Key Features & Benefits
Pristine White Blooms: A profusion of bright, single white flowers covers the shrub from late spring all the way through to the first heavy frost, offering a cool, crisp look during the peak of summer heat.
Unique Blue-Green Foliage: The fine-textured foliage features a distinctive soft, blue-green tint that provides a sophisticated contrast to the brilliant white flowers and general greenery of the garden.
Extreme Hardiness: Like all Potentillas, 'Abbotswood' is built for tough climates (USDA Zones 2-7). It handles extreme cold, drought, poor soil, and urban conditions without complaint.
Graceful, Mounding Habit: Growing slightly larger than the dwarf varieties at 3–4 feet tall and wide, it maintains a tidy, dense, and rounded shape that requires very little maintenance to look its best.
Versatile & Carefree: Highly adaptable and resistant to deer, pests, and diseases. It’s an ideal choice for low formal hedges, mass plantings, foundation plantings, or as a graceful accent shrub.
