HAPPY FACE® Pink Paradise Potentilla (Dasiphora fruticosa 'Kupinpa')
Supersized flowers • Long blooming • Very hardy
Height: 2-3′
Spread: 2-3′
Zones: 2-7
Primary Season of Interest: Late spring to fall (all new wood flowers)
Care Tips: Will perform best in full sun – a minimum of six hours of direct light and up to all day sun. Adapts to most soils, except those that remain wet. Benefits from yearly trimming and periodic rejuvenation pruning to remove thickest stems.
ARCTIC FIRE® Red Red-Twig Dogwood (Cornus sericea 'Farrow')
Native to North America • Compact habit • Deer resistant
Height: 3-5′
Spread: 3-5′
Zones: 2-7
Primary Season of Interest: Winter (stems)
Secondary Season of Interest: Spring (white flowers)
Care Tips: Will perform well in a range of sun exposures – a minimum of four hours of direct light and up to all day sun. However, it’s one of the most shade tolerant shrubs. So it can be positioned in less sun and will still grow well, just not quite as robustly as it would with more exposure. Adapts to most soils, but will grow best in moist soils. Pruning is recommended. Stem color is brightest on one and two year old stems, so plan to perform regular rejuvenation prunes.
