Nursery contributed plant descriptions

(AKA BRILONI) Arching branches create a 2’mound of golden foliage which is semi evergreen in colder zones; keeps color better than other cultivars in light to part shade (which this one prefers). Not fussy about soil but happier with regular moisture. Nice small foundation that glows in shaded spots in the garden! Deer and rabbit resistant, easy, very low maintenance. Axillary flowers are fragrant but small. PP# 15234. USDA Z7-9

This pretty little shrublet has small gold leaves. The evergreen plant will get 12"x18". The bright golden leaves will cascade somewhat next to a wall. Needs some afternoon shade.

Golden leaved honeysuckle shrub for the shaded garden. Blooms sparsely in spring, the small white flowers followed by small, bluish fruits. Slow growing, to only 3-4 ft tall and wide over time and smaller than other golden forms, with arching branches that add texture and bright golden accents. Tolerates sun but tends towards a more chartreuse color. Enjoys summer water but tolerates some drought once established. Frost hardy to -20F, USDA zone 5.

Edmee Gold is a cascading evergreen shrubby honeysuckle with tiny, golden leaves that resemble those of boxwood. It's a great textural shrub with arching branches that is a great foil for green-leaved, larger-foliaged plants. It is a dwarf version of 'Baggesen's Gold' growing to a 1-2' tall and wide.
