Shrubby Cinquefoil (Potentilla) vs Northern BayberryDasiphora fruticosa syn. Potentilla fruticosa Myrica pensylvanica SOLD OUT SOLD OUT 
Shrubby Cinquefoil is a small, deciduous flowering shrub. This hardy species is densely covered with leaves and produces pale to bright yellow buttercup-shaped flowers terminally on the stems.
Northern Bayberry makes an excellent hedge or feature shrub. It will retain its leaves in warmer climates but drops them in colder areas. They produce blue-grey berries that have a wax coating on them that can be used to make candles or soaps. SHRUBBY CINQUEFOIL (POTENTILLA) QUICK FACTSNORTHERN BAYBERRY QUICK FACTS
