The Goldfinger Cinquefoil is a mounding deciduous shrub that grows to 3 feet tall and 4 feet wide. The leaves are divided into 5 leaflets like fingers on a hand, and they are dark green, covered in fine silvery hairs. The flowers are 1½ inches across, like golden bowls of captured sunlight, and flowering is more or less non-stop from May to September. It can be trimmed as needed for informal hedges, and grows well on slopes, in sunny areas, among rocks and in poor soil conditions.
- Large, bright yellow flowers from May to September
- Mounding shrub with small, dark-green leaves
- Grows well in hot, sunny parts of your garden
- Thrives in poor soil and difficult conditions
- Ideal choice for low-maintenance gardening
Full sun gives the best results with the Goldfinger Cinquefoil, but it will tolerate a little shade. It is very cold hardy, as well as sun and dryness tolerant, growing well in zone 3. It is usually untroubled by pests, diseases and deer, and needs virtually no care. Older plants can be regenerated by removing a few of the oldest stems low down near the ground.
