#ProPlantTips for Care:
Low-maintenance Potentillas, also known as Bush Cinquefoil, are sun and part-shade-loving deciduous shrubs. You'll get more flowers in more sun. Plant in any kind of well-drained soil with moderate moisture and fertility, plus a layer of mulch over the soil surface. Happy Face® is a hardy shrub once established, tolerating both drought and salt. It's a friend to wildlife (with its dense nature and bright flowers), but deer tend to pass it by. It is best to prune in late winter to keep your shrubs neat and tidy.

- Highly Adaptable to any Well-Drained Soil
