Potentilla Care and Pruning
They are a very durable plant, tolerating drought,
flooding, extreme cold, and will easily survive transplanting. Potentillas should be planted in a sunny area which receives light shade in the
hottest part of the day to prevent the flower colour from fading. They are very hardy in all areas. Name: Eva Dey Name: anne barham Name: sheila Name: george willsher Name: Elaine 
This is the great advantage of potentillas - they thrive in most soil
conditions, and stand shade and sun alike. If you are looking for the
ideal conditions, they prefer well-drained, reasonably rich soil, but will tolerate
clay, rocky, or slightly alkaline soils as well.

Message: I have a miss wilmott which was sold in the alpine section of the garden centre with a spread of 18 onches .
This year the plant has spread to 36 inches spread .
Can I cut the plant back by 50% to a lower flower ?
Should I cut it back next spring to prevent it's spread ?

Message: I live in a town home and had three beautiful 3ft. tall potentilla shrubs that provide a screen from the neighbors. Last week the grounds keepers cut them into 20 inch rounded mounds that resemble a broom. They were so beautiful, is there anything I can do to return them to their lush fullness? Any help is much appreciated. Thank you
