Native cultivar*. Years’ worth of work have led to this dream come true! While you may have seen other orange potentillas, none of them hold their color through the summer like Happy Face® Orange. Its little blooms are a cheerful creamsicle hue and they actually stay that way. They arrive in incredible quantities all throughout the growing season. No matter the growing conditions. Potentilla gets a sad wrap as a parking lot plant, but that’s just because it is so dang reliable. No worries about deer, drought, or salt. It’s ready to feed pollinators wherever you plant it, as edging, groundcover, or as a mass planting in the border.
