Shrubby Cinquefoil (Dasiphora fruticosa) is an extremely hardy deciduous shrub that boasts masses of yellow flowers that last all season long! The cheerful yellow flowers contrast nicely with the blue-green leaves. Although its growth habit can vary, it usually grows wider than it is tall. Shrubby Cinquefoil is an incredibly resilient plant. Although it commonly grows at higher elevations and moist sites (even tolerating periods of standing water), it is also incredibly drought tolerant and can be planted in a xeric garden as well! Use as a single specimen plant or grouping in garden beds and borders, rock gardens, xeric gardens, rain gardens, or use as an informal hedge or groundcover. Although this plant does handle xeric conditions, it will flower best if given some water during dry summers. It is tolerant of urban pollution.
