    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    This shrub features bright, bold color making it a fine accent plant, especially when planted among darker leaved specimens. Brilliant foliage emerges a deep golden-yellow before mellowing to lime-green. Bright-white flower clusters in summer only add to its luminousness. The leaves return to yellow when fall arrives, dropping to reveal cinnamon colored peeling bark. This choice cultivar was selected by South Dakota State University for its superior, densely-compact 5' habit. S/M

    Leaves burst out in spring in vibrant lemon lime on this dense, compact shrub that eventually reaches 3-6’. The color deepens to a glowing lime as summer Arrives...showy clusters of white flowers in early summer. Easy to grow in most soils with occasional water...appreciates some protection from the hot afternoon sun. Exfoliating cinnamon bark is interesting even when the branches are bare in the winter.
