Foliage that is rosy-copper spring-into-summer and yellow-orange-red in fall makes this compact (to only 3-5') dwarf variety glow; outstanding at the front of a shrub border where you can enjoy its colors. S-PSh/M

My new favorite circinatum. Here's why: lots of color in spring and summer on its small leaves and it can grow in the sun (unlike my former favorites Sunglow and Sunny Sister)
