Potentilla Yellow

• Prefers a little shade during the heat of the day to keep blooming for longer and prevent the flower colour from fading.

• Can be planted at any time of the year, as long as the soil is not frozen, waterlogged or drought-dry.
• Select an appropriate spot for your plant, making sure that you give it enough space to grow to its full size.
• Choose a semi-shaded or sunny position that has some shade during the day.
• Will tolerate a wide range of conditions but ideally prefers a moist, well-drained soil, so add plenty of well-rotted manure into the hole if necessary.
• Dig a hole slightly wider than the nursery pot, forking over the bottom to loosen the soil. Add some good-quality fertiliser such as blood, fish and bone.
• Plant to the same depth as the nursery pot and backfill with soil, firming around the planting area with your heel.
• Keep well-watered until established, but after a few weeks in the ground, your plant will not need much watering. If planted in a pot or container, water enough so that the soil does not dry out – about once a week through spring and summer, or more if the weather is hot.
• Very hardy and low maintenance, but for best results, feed in late autumn/early winter, then mulch to preserve moisture through the winter.
• Plants can be tidied by trimming back in autumn when they have finished flowering, or as necessary in the summer to maintain shape.

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
