About
the
Potentilla
-
Tangerine
:
The
Tangerine
Potentilla,
Fruticosa
tangerine,
is
an
excellent
but
rare
wildlife
shrub.
The
orange
flowers
last
over
many
weeks
like
other
cinqufoils,
but
the
beauty
and
unique
feature
of
this
species
is
the
prostrate
habit.
The
dense
foliage
spreads
horizontally
across
the
ground
slowly
producing
a
thick
mat.
They
are
virtually
pest
free.
The
Tangerine
variety
is
wide
spreading
with
layered
branches.
The
flowers
are
bright
yellow
in
full
sun
but
become
orange
in
cool
weather
or
parital
shade..
The
shrub
flowers
from
early
spring
to
late
fall
and
should
be
pruned
back
every
2 to
3
years
which
will
rejuvinate
the
plant.
