Potentilla fruticosa 'SMNPPS'
Choose Happy Face Hearts® Potentilla if you want a compact flowering shrub for sunny, hard-working spots where roses feel like too much upkeep. The tradeoff: it gives color, not screening or winter structure.
Buy This If
You want long-season pink flowers
You need a compact front-edge shrub
Deer browsing is a regular concern
Skip This If
You need privacy screening
The spot stays wet
The area is mostly shade
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
B+
The pink-and-white flowers give steady front-border color, but the plant is quieter when not in bloom.
Growth Rate
B
It fills in steadily without racing, so plan on patience for a massed effect.
Maintenance
A-
Occasional shaping and cleanup are usually enough, though older stems may need renewal pruning over time.
Deer Resistance
B+
Deer tend to leave this alone, though hungry deer may sample it where pressure is heavy.
Small Space Fit
A
Its compact mounded habit works well near walks, steps, and smaller foundation pockets.
Screening Value
D
It is too low and open to serve as privacy or a property-line screen.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for sunny front edges, driveway islands, and small banks where you want repeat color without fussing. Give it air, avoid wet soil, and cut back lightly when it starts looking woody.

Customers Usually Ask
Will it flower all season?
Expect a long bloom period, strongest with good sun and occasional light trimming.
Does it need special soil?
No, but drainage matters; avoid constantly wet ground.
Privacy & Screening: Many varieties grow dense and full, making them ideal for natural hedges and property boundaries.
Seasonal Color & Texture: From evergreen foliage to flowering varieties, shrubs provide visual interest in every season.
Shrubs Grown to Perform in New England
At Pro Growers of New England, our shrubs are grown and maintained locally to perform in true New England conditions. From flowering varieties to evergreen foundation plants, each shrub is properly spaced, pruned, and cared for to develop strong root systems and balanced structure before it ever reaches your landscape.
Unlike large online sellers that ship plants long distances, we invite you to visit our nursery, walk the rows, and inspect the exact shrubs available. You can see the size, health, and fullness in person — ensuring there are no surprises upon delivery.
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!

They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

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!
