Potentilla fruticosa 'Minjaro01' DOUBLE PUNCH^® PEACH

Cinquefoil is a popular plant in gardens of various sizes and is often found in city parks and arboretums. They have several flower colours and thanks to zero maintenance they can be planted almost anywhere. One of the largest European nurseries with their own breeding line, and number one in France Minier – Hortival Diffusion introduced two series of cinquefoil with attractive flower colours. One of them is called DOUBLE PUNCH^® and the variety names of the other end with ‘ISSIMA^®.

DOUBLE PUNCH^® PEACH cinquefoil makes about 2.5 cm large flowers which emerge peachy orange/red and mature to bright yellow with some salmon pink hues. Blooming begins in June and continues until September, perhaps with a little break in midsummer. It makes well branched, dense shrubs about one meter tall and wide in maturity. Palmately divided leaves are small, medium green, not very showy. Pruning is possible in early spring. Thanks to very little care needed and high resistance to whims of weather, pests, and diseases it is ideal for low maintenance gardens. DOUBLE PUNCH^® PEACH cinquefoil was granted a European patent EU 59007 in 2021.

Cinquefoil grows best in well-drained, poor, or moderately fertile soil in full sun. Fast and large growing varieties can be trimmed in early spring. It does not need extra fertilizing or watering once established, though a good selective fertilizer may enhance continuous production of new flower buds. It is fully hardy to abt. -40°C (USDA zone 3), and suitable for outdoor pots down to zone 5, just do not let them dry out completely.
