Tangerine Potentilla
The orange flowers last over many weeks like other cinqufoils, but the beauty and unique feature of this species is the prostrate habit.
The flowers are bright yellow in full sun but become orange in cool weather or parital shade.
The dense foliage spreads horizontally across the ground slowly producing a thick mat.
The Tangerine Potentilla, Fruticosa tangerine, is an excellent but rare wildlife shrub.
The shrub flowers from early spring to late fall and should be pruned back every 2 to 3 years which will rejuvinate the plant.

Chinch bugs love grass. Small and nasty smelling, these 1/5 inch long bugs will do a job on your lawn. You can keep these obnoxious bugs away by aerating your lawn, removing thatch, and watering and fertilizing your lawn.
