watering
Cinquefoil (Potentilla nepalensis 'Ron McBeath') requires moderate levels of watering and should be watered when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel mostly dry to the touch. In typical conditions, it should be watered once a week. During hot weather, it may require more frequent watering, such as every few days, to keep the soil moist. Make sure to water the plant thoroughly and avoid allowing the soil to dry out completely.
sunlight
Cinquefoil (Potentilla nepalensis 'Ron McBeath') requires full sun for optimal growth and flowering. It can tolerate some light shade, but flowering may be reduced. In general, this plant species should receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. In zones with higher temperatures, partial shade may be beneficial during the peak hours of the day to prevent the foliage and flowers from scorching.
pruning
Cinquefoil (Potentilla nepalensis 'Ron McBeath') should be pruned at the end of the growing season (late-summer to early-fall). Some light pruning in the late spring or early summer may be necessary to shape the shrub or to revive growth of any unruly branches. Hard pruning should be kept to a minimum since it can adversely effect flowering and be potentially damaging. Remove any dead or damaged branches, plus any crossed or rubbing branches. When pruning, always make the cut just above a side shoot or an outward-facing bud. Do not prune more than 1-third of the plant's growth in any 1 season.
