Nursery contributed plant descriptions

We got our original plant from Hillers (England) in the 80's. The yellow pendant flowers cover the 10' shrub. The new foliage is rich purple and the leaves will be purple through a good part of summer. Seems more tender than other corylopsis.

A soft, matte purple new growth that can continue into summer distinguishes this large, open, deciduous shrub. Pendent yellow racemes bloom first, followed by the leaves. 10 - 12' T & W Minimum temperature: -10?F
