Dasiphora fruticosa, commonly known as shrubby cinquefoil, is a tough, cold-hardy deciduous shrub that produces cheerful yellow flowers from early summer through fall with very little maintenance. Plant in full sun to partial shade in well-draining soil and water regularly until established, after which it becomes quite drought resilient. Prune lightly in early spring to encourage bushy, vigorous growth and abundant blooming.
