Gingersnap™ potentilla, a cultivar of Potentilla fruticosa, is an attractive deciduous shrub celebrated for its unique and abundant apricot-colored flowers. Unlike many other potentillas that may fade in intense sun, Gingersnap™ hold its bright peach and golden hues, providing a continuous show of color from late spring through first frost. It has a compact and mounded form, typically reaching just 2 to 3 feet in height and width, makes it an ideal choice for adding a cheerful and consistent splash of color to small garden spaces, borders, or low hedges. Its fine-textured, deep green foliage provides a perfect backdrop, ensuring this potentilla remains a valuable landscape feature even when not in full bloom.

Gingersnap™ potentilla is an incredibly tough and easy-to-care-for plant. It thrives in full sun and is cold-hardy, surviving in USDA Zones 3-7. Once established, it is remarkably drought-tolerant and adaptable to a wide range of soil conditions, though it performs best in well-drained soil. This shrub is also a favorite for low-maintenance gardening as it is naturally resistant to deer and rabbits. Pruning is minimal, usually just a light trim in early spring to maintain its tidy shape, making it a reliable and fuss-free choice for both novice and experienced gardeners seeking a long-lasting and colorful shrub.
