Red Starbursts Against a Golden Background!
Cinquefoil Mango Tango® PP#12,258
Deer leave this easy-care shrub alone!
Bred for superb cold hardiness!
Plant Patent #12,258. Cultivar: 'Uman'. A fine new Potentilla, Mango Tango® offers rich blooms of mango-gold overlaid with orange and red. During cool weather the blooms are darker and more richly colored; in the summer they're yellow with deeper highlights around the center. Long-blooming and vigorous, this University of Manitoba introduction is superb for the deer-resistant garden, for poor and compacted soils, and for easy-care gardening everywhere.
The flowers are 2 inches wide, with a cupped shape that makes them stand out in the garden. Borne from spring through fall, they are a fine companion to all neighbors in the border. The plant is just 2 feet high and wide, very bushy and dense, so that during the periods of heaviest blooms it simply covers itself in bright color.
Cinquefoil is a hardworking little shrub that thrives in full sun or partial shade, and prefers soil on the poor side. Mango Tango® is particularly adaptable to extreme conditions, thanks to its Canadian breeding. Whether your soil is dry or boggy, this shrub will flourish!
Space plants about 2 feet apart in the border, small-space garden, or patio. Zones 3-8.
