Pruning & Care

As it is Pot Grown, you can easily leave the plant in its pot for a few days/weeks before planting it. Just ensure you keep the plant well-watered, and it gets enough sun. Don‰ۡó»t leave it for too long, however, as you don‰ۡó»t want the roots becoming root bound.̴Ì?

Yellow potentilla is a dense shrub that does not require much care or maintenance, except a quick trim to maintain your desired shape and height. Ensure you prune around Autumntime after the flowering period is over, cutting the old branches down to ground level. You must prune at the right time, so you do not risk removing new shoots that are trying to grow.

To encourage the flowers to thrive best in the following year, we also recommend an annual fertiliser or mulch to be trowelled into the soil.
