Potentilla Gold Drop cinquefoil is a low-mounding shrub that provides summer-long color. Its single, roselike, buttercup-yellow flowers bloom from early summer to frost on a mound of finely textured light-green foliage, making it a strong addition to a shrub or flower border. Easy to plant and maintain as it tolerates drought as well as occasional wetness but prefers well drained soils. 

Potentilla Gold Drop is a deciduous xeri-scape shrub that does best in full sun and will flower all summer if trimmed in late June or July along with fertilizer and water. The flowers are borne atop the tips of the new growth. Gold drop is good for the rock garden, border or as a ground cover, foundation planting or specimen It is best to thin this plant in late winter by cutting back about one third of the stems near the ground (older stems only).   Potentilla also serves as a butterfly nectar source and a host for butterfly larvae.
