Notes
'Happy Face Yellow' shrubby cinquefoil (Dasiphora fruticosa 'Happy Face Yellow') is a shrub for borders, hedges, and low maintenance plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 2, or down to -50°F (-46°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Butterflies visit it, and it is drought tolerant and salt tolerant. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Give it room to reach 24 to 36 inches wide.
Pairs well with Catmint, Hidcote lavender, and Alina rose.
