Potentila fruiticosa, do well up here in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. And we
are zone 3A.

Just be sure to ask for P.fruiticosa.

Hi folks,
Can anyone suggest a potentilla-like shrub for Elizabeth City, NC
(8/31).
My brother thought he'd plant potentillas (had used them in Boston)
and then found that they don't do well in his zone.

The attributes he's looking for are - perennial, moderate size (30"},
flowers till frost, bullet proof.

All suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
Cindy Donnell
