Product Description - Potentilla (fruticosa) Marian Red Robin
Marian Red Robin is an ornamental dwarf shrub of the Rosaceae family. Cinquefoil has other names - Kuril tea or five-leaved cinquefoil. A shrub with a dense, rounded crown and abundant flowering in summer and autumn. The shrub is deciduous, reaches a height of 40-50 cm, and has a crown diameter of 0.8 m. Annual growth in size and width is 10-15 cm. Shoots are thin, creeping along the ground. Cinquefoil Marian Red Robin is a beautiful red-flowered, abundantly flowering variety. Flowers are bright orange-red, up to 4 cm in diameter, single or collected in small inflorescences. The leaves are compound and light green; they acquire a beautiful yellow color in autumn. Flowering begins in June and lasts until October. By choosing the right place for planting and following the rules of care, the Marian Red Robin cinquefoil shrub will delight you with abundant flowering for 20-30 years.
For abundant flowering, cinquefoil needs sunny areas, but light shading will not harm it. Optimal planting period: since the plant has a closed root system, it can be planted in spring, late summer, and autumn. However, when planted in autumn, the shrubby cinquefoil may not have time to prepare for winter, and shoots that have not yet lignified - freeze. The plant is winter hardy. It develops well and only shows itself in its glory on fertile, moderately moist soils. Cinquefoil does not tolerate heavy, clay soils. Potentilla needs annual spring pruning to maintain the crown in a decorative form. In April-May, shorten the shoots by a third, and cut out all damaged, old and dried shoots. Every few years, cutting the plant to 5-10 cm from the ground level is necessary. Potentilla is an excellent shrub for creating flower borders, hedges, mixed flower beds, edging flower beds, and taller shrubs. It can be used as a tapeworm on the lawn. Looks great in a rocky garden. The variety is suitable for growing in containers.
