Planting & Care for Happy FaceĀ® Orange Potentilla

Preparation
  • Potentilla loves full sun! Make sure to plant it in a spot that gets at least 6 hours of sunlight each day for optimal blooming.
  • This plant tolerates a variety of soil types but prefers well-drained soil. If your soil is heavy or clay-like, mix in compost or sand to improve drainage.
  • The best time to plant is in the spring or early fall. This gives the shrub enough time to establish its roots before the extreme temperatures of summer or winter.
  • Space each plant about 2 to 3 feet apart to allow room for growth. Potentilla can spread up to 3 feet wide, so give it some breathing room!
  • Hardiness zone 2.
Opening Plant Material
  • Container - Completely saturate all container plants by putting in a larger container of water until stops bubbling, then remove the plant from the container. 
Planting Containers
  • Dig a hole no deeper than the depth of the container and 6" or more wider on the sides.
  • Slide plant from pot by tapping on the bottom of the pot.
  • With shovel or knife trim bottom 2" off of the root ball for plants in plastic containers.
  • Rotate the plant to the proper position. Never lift or move plants by the tops.
  • Place the root ball in the hole.
  • Adjust the plant height so the root crown is slightly higher than the ground.
  • Place fertilizer packets into the bottom of the hole (if purchased). *Use Our Recommended Fertilizer
  • Back-fill the hole with soil, making sure the top of the root ball is visible and slightly higher than the soil around it.
  • Firm the soil around the plant. Water well to settle soil around the root ball.
  • Water frequently when newly planted. 
Pruning - After Planting
  • Container - Although it is not essential for container plants to be pruned after planting, a light pruning to remove any broken branches during shipment and improve shape will help the looks of your new planting.
Pruning - Throughout the Season
  • Give the plant a light trim in early spring to force plenty of new growth and buds.
  • Flowers do not last well when cut.
  • After flowering ā€“ cut off spent flower stems at ground level, and tidy up the plants as the growth dies off.
  • In milder areas the foliage may hang on.
 Watering - After Planting
  • Plants typically take approximately 6 weeks to establish new roots in your soil. During this period, water plants as oft en as every 2-4 days at the start and at least a minimum of once per week.
  • Beyond the 6 week establishment period, water once per week, unless rains occur.
Watering - Throughout the Season
  • After the first season, plants should only be watered during extended periods without rain.
  • How do you know if your plants need water? The easiest way to tell is to touch the soil around the roots. If it is moist, there is no need to water. If it is dry, give it a good soaking with the hose end (no nozzle) watering the soil only, not the leaves.
