Potentilla frut. 'Red Ace'

Potentilla fruticosa 'Red Ace', also called bush gander or shrub gander, is a small deciduous shrub with a dense bushy upright shape and narrow grey-green leaves. It blooms very profusely from June to the end of September with bright red flowers that slowly turn orange-red in warm weather. 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.
