Description
Potentilla 'William Rollisson'
Height x Spread: 40cm x 40cm
P. 'William Rollisson' has semi-double deep orange flowers with a gorgeous yellow centre. Blooming throughout the summer it's a great choice for planting in a 'hot' colour themed border. This clump forming perennial performs best when grown in either sun or partial shade and any reasonable, well drained soil.
Shear the green strawberry-like foliage back to the base in spring to rejuvenate growth. Division can be carried out during the autumn.
Rosy's Colour Picks
HELENIUM 'Sahin's Early Flowerer'
Much sought after for its delicious and varying mix of yellows and oranges within each plant's flowers, it is one of the first Helenium to bloom and just keeps going.
KNIPHOFIA 'Tawny King'
Elegant and statuesque, 'Tawny King's' poker-like flower spikes command attention with their delicious two tone ombre effect - creamy yellow flowers opening upwards from deep tawny orange buds
ERYNGIUM bourgatii 'Lapis Blue'
A very striking form of sea holly with heads of snowflake-like prickly bracts surrounding a bold blue cone, all over prickly green and white foliage.
NEPETA grandiflora 'Summer Magic' PBR
This excellent variety would be an ideal substitute for a lavender hedge in soils where lavender does not thrive. It was a new introduction in 2013, launched at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
