Potentilla frut. 'Marian Red Robin'

Potentilla fruticosa "marian red robin", also called bush gander or shrub gander is an improved version of "red ace", it is a small deciduous shrub with a dense bushy spherical shape and narrow grey-green leaves. It blooms very profusely from June to the end of September with bright red flowers that slowly change color to orange to orange-yellow. This bush gander likes a position in full sun or partial shade and does well in almost any type of soil. In full sun, the flowers bloom earlier and the color is less intense. It is very hardy, reasonably drought resistant, tolerates salty sea wind, air pollution, attracts bees and butterflies and is free of disease and pests.
