Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Its pink flowers are yuck. But, cut them off and the bright golden foliage is fabulous. Seems to be smaller (2'x3') than many hydrangeas.

This yellow leaved plant circulates under a number of different names including 'Lemon Zest', 'Ogonba', 'Yellow Leaf' and possibly others, Blue with enough aluminum, it is not particularly free blooming and definitely on the tender side here, but the foliage does stand out in the garden.

'Sun Goddess' is also known as 'Lemon Zest' and 'Yellow Leaf' -- confirming that, indeed, this is a yellow foliage hydrangea, a shrub to 4' x 4' with mophead flowers, pink to blue (with sufficient acidity). For a bright garden accent, protect from hottest afternoon sun and provide summer moisture. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8, upper zone 7 in a protected spot.
