Small, pinnate, blue-green to gray-green leaves are covered with fine silvery hairs giving the foliage a distinctive, almost bluish hue. Compact, bushy, rounded habit with fine-textured stems and shredding bark.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLeaves have been traditionally used to make astringent tea. An important pollinator plant—the nectar and pollen attract numerous native bees, including three specialist bee species that rely exclusively on Potentilla. Host plant for 18 species of butterflies and moths. Birds feed on the seeds. Deer and rabbit resistant. Historically used by Indigenous peoples for medicinal purposes, and the flaky bark can be used as fire-starting tinder.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis incredibly tough, low-maintenance plant can be used as an informal hedge, foundation planting, border along walkways, in sunny rain gardens, rock gardens, pollinator gardens, or as a single specimen. Excellent for erosion control. Withstands both summer drought and harsh winter cold. Adaptable to many soil types from wet to dry, and sand to clay, though performs best in well-drained soils. Trim old stems to encourage fresh growth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-66bef996-7fff-e391-1792-b3ee3013ce99\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0774\/5440\/9961\/files\/Screenshot_2025-11-01_055743.png?v=1762003079\" style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tanager, LLC","offers":[{"title":"3.5 in pot","offer_id":49286136660201,"sku":null,"price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0774\/5440\/9961\/files\/Screenshot_2025-11-01_064908.png?v=1762005511","url":"https:\/\/www.tanagergreenhouse.com\/products\/potentilla-fruiticosa-shrubby-cinquefoil-rosaceae","provider":"Tanager, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
