Growing Zones 2-7
From the experts at Proven Winners® ColorChoice®, the Happy Face Hearts® Potentilla (Potentilla fruticosa 'SMNPPS') is both tough and beautiful. All of the lovely Potentilla varieties in the Happy Face® series are! Happy Face® Hearts blooms look just like apple blossoms. They are pink with a creamy-white 'star' in the center that gives them an old-fashioned picot edge! They also maintain their pink color no matter how hot it gets and won't bleach out.
They are bred to have super performing hardiness, maintaining their beauty all the way up into growing zone 2. They can take a winter of -50 degrees and bust out in the spring like it was a sweet winter's nap! They are known for non-stop blooms that start in late spring and go on all summer. The blooms are not little wimpy things, either, but big and proud flowers that cover the plant.
Butterflies adore this bright shrub, and so will you! One of the few Potentillas that can handle USDA growing zone 2-7 climates, handling winter chill and sun! Growing to a tiny 1-2 foot tall and wide as a fantastic dwarf little flowering shrub! You'll fill areas around your sunny landscape with bright cheerful color that won't demand much from you in return!
Planting and Application:
Use Happy Face Hearts® as accents in your mixed Perennial borders or even as edging, since they only grow a couple of feet tall and wide, they make a great tall groundcover and look amazing massed in big drifts in the landscape, mixing well with other pink or white flowers. Potentilla becomes the workhorse of your landscape. Great for xeric-scaping and fire-wise landscapes alike!

If you have a hot spot in your yard, this is an invaluable flowering plant. Plant in that hot, xeric hell strip along the roadside or sidewalk, along walkways and sunny paths. They can even be used in city environments. In fact, Potentilla is a go-to, low plant for many urban designers.

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Even though Potentilla looks sweetly old-fashioned, but this cheerful Potentilla delivers a hardy, modern-day performance! Loving the full sun, Happy Face Hearts® prefer moist soil, but as they mature, they can adapt to dry soil very easily. A hardy deciduous plant, mildew resistant, low-maintenance, and does well in cold climates. It's tolerant of poor soils and urban environments. Plant in areas with good drainage, but Potentilla is not particular about soil and can tolerate a wide range of soil types.
Once established, this plant requires little water. Give new plants regular water during the first season, plus a layer of mulch over the soil surface. In extreme heat, we say that it's a good idea to protect your investment with a bit of supplemental water. Watch your plant for any sign of stress.
Prune after flowering to keep plants in featured areas looking manicured and neat. Cut them back hard in late winter when needed to rejuvenate them. When naturalized, it requires no pruning.
- Full Sun For The Most Blooms
- Highly Adaptable to any Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate to Low Moisture Needs Once Established
