Potentilla fruticosa or ‘Gold Drop’ is a great landscape shrub for several reasons. First and foremost it is durable due to its ability to thrive in a wide range of soils and handle shady locations. While they prefer locations with good drainage, the deciduous shrub will easily survive in clay and rocky soils to brighten your landscape. Just about the only limitation is that it will not grow well in a hot climate such as one warmer than Zone 7. The shrub can handle drought, flooding, slightly alkaline soils, and extreme cold which makes it a great low maintenance choice to add color to a landscape.
