Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Our specimen in the garden is nearly 15 years old - 3' tall x 4' wide, and so rewarding each year with its chartreuse leaves glowing in the shade! And so optimistic that even with a hard pruning it remains good-natured. Don't worry, it doesn't have the bad manners of its coarser cousin. One bad apple...you know.Minimum temperature: -10°F
