How to care for your Potentilla Lovely Pink

1. Sunlight: Thrives in full sun exposure but can also tolerate partial shade. It is essential to ensure that the plant receives at least six hours of direct sunlight per day.
2. Watering: This plant requires regular watering, especially during hot and dry weather conditions. It is best to water the plant deeply once a week, allowing the soil to dry out between watering sessions.
3. Soil: Prefers well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. If the soil in your garden is heavy, it is advisable to amend it with compost or sand to improve drainage.
4. Fertiliser: This plant does not require a lot of fertiliser, but it benefits from a light application of a balanced fertiliser once a year in the Spring.
5. Pruning: Benefits from regular pruning to promote bushier growth and more abundant blooms. It is best to prune the plant in the early Spring before new growth appears.

By following these care tips, you can ensure that your Potentilla Lovely Pink thrives in your garden and adds beauty and charm for many years to come.
