    Orange Whisper Potentilla is a uniform mound shape shrub with an abundance of small orange flowers throughout the summer. Holds the orange color well. Continual blooming adds a striking contrast to any landscape.
    Water regularly as needed. Feed in spring with an all purpose fertilizer before new spring growth. Little pruning is needed, prune broken or damage limbs.
