The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!

Potentilla fruticosa 'Gold Finger'
Choose Goldfinger Potentilla if you’re matching or replacing an older Goldfinger planting and want steady yellow bloom in a tough, sunny spot. The tradeoff: it is a utility shrub, not a screen or a four-season focal point.

PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B | Its long yellow bloom gives steady front-border color, but the shrub itself is plain when not flowering. |
| Growth Rate | B+ | It fills in quicker than many compact shrubs, but it still will not give instant structure. |
| Maintenance | A- | Once established, it asks for little beyond light shaping and removing tired stems. |
| Deer Resistance | B+ | Deer tend to leave this alone, though hungry deer may sample it where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | B+ | Its compact, bushy habit fits many small beds, but it needs room to spread naturally. |
| Screening Value | D | It is too low and open-growing to solve privacy or boundary screening. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we’d typically recommend Goldfinger Potentilla for shoreline-style massing, dry borders, and practical color where the plant does not need to carry the whole design in winter.

Customers Usually Ask
Does it bloom all season?
It starts in late spring and keeps pushing color into fall, especially with good light.
Is it good near the shore?
Yes, it is a sensible shoreline shrub where the soil is not constantly wet.
Will it stay tidy?
Mostly, but plan on occasional pruning to keep the mound from looking tired.
