HAPPY FACE HEARTS® Potentilla

Light: Normally chosen for very intense locations, like blazing full sun. It does pretty well in partially sunny positions, it will just flower a little less robustly. It needs at least six hours of direct exposure to flower abundantly.Soil: Super adaptable to any soil type, just needs to be well draining. Even does well in polluted areas or those that get a lot of salt in the wintertime. Water: Quite drought tolerant after it’s established in its first year.Fertilizing: Can be fertilized in the springtime when soil is workable, however this isn’t necessary. As a rugged North American native, it is accustomed to thriving with what nutrients are available.Pruning: Its rounded habit looks more uniform with a yearly overall trim in the late winter or early spring. Maintains the best vigor and flowering with periodic rejuvenation pruning. This is the process of removing 1/3 of the thickest branches all the way back to the ground. You can get to the task every three to five years, depending on how dense the plant is.Potentilla native range. Based on the USDA website.
