watering
For shrubby cinquefoil, water weekly during the summer, until the soil is evenly moist, but avoid overwatering as this can cause root rot. During the fall and winter months, water the shrubby cinquefoil only when the top inch of soil is dry. Reduce watering once the temperatures decrease and the plant enters its dormant stage.
sunlight
Shrubby cinquefoil (Potentilla fruticosa 'Coronation Triumph') thrives in full sun, which means it should receive 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day to ensure optimal growth and flowering. This plant is best grown in morning sun and afternoon shade in warm climates, as the afternoon sun tends to be the strongest and could cause sunburn. If possible, the plant should be kept in part shade in hotter climates. Consistent overwatering should be avoided so that the plant does not become too susceptible to root rot.
pruning
Shrubby cinquefoil (Potentilla fruticosa 'Coronation Triumph') should be pruned in early spring, just as new growth appears. This should remove any dead, diseased or overgrown stems to allow for vigorous, healthy new growth and encourage flowering. Depending on the size and shape you wish to maintain, hard pruning to no more than 6 inches in height should be done. Regular pruning to maintain the desired form should be done in late spring to early summer after flowering has stopped. In late summer or early fall, light pruning may be done to remove any overly long shoots. This pruning will help keep the shrub looking neat and tidy and promote more productive flowering next season.
