Shrubby CinquefoilBase 'Goldfinger'

'Goldfinger' is one of the most reliable and long-flowering deciduous shrubs for low hedging in the UK. It forms a neat, rounded bush with small, deeply lobed, grey-green leaves. From late spring all the way until the first frosts of autumn, it is smothered in large, bright buttercup-yellow flowers that are a magnet for bees. This cultivar is particularly valued for its large flower size and exceptionally long blooming period. It is incredibly tough and easy to grow, thriving in full sun and almost any well-drained soil. It is particularly well-suited to exposed, windy, or coastal sites and is fully hardy even in the coldest parts of the country. To keep the hedge tidy and ensure a good display of flowers every year, it can be lightly pruned in early spring. It provides a cheerful and low-maintenance boundary for flower beds, paths, or front gardens.
