Tips to Grow Potentilla

  1. Arrange good quality Potentilla plant.
  2. The soil should be well-draining soil that will stay evenly moist.
  3. Cover the planting area with 2 inches of compost and mix into the soil 6 to 8 inches deep. Dig a hole 1-1/2 times larger than the root ball and remove the plant from the container.
  4. We can add compost and can spread Mulch lightly around the plants for better growth.
  5. Potentilla can suffer some winter dieback in colder regions. In late winter or early spring before new growth emerges, cut out any dead or diseased wood.
