Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Attractive all year! This splendid 6-9' shrub is covered with soft-pink, bell-shaped flowers in spring. Showy leaves emerge in spring chartreuse with copper overtones before deepening to bright golden-yellow foliage in summer. The foliage brightens to bright orange-gold color in fall before dropping to showcase its interesting shredding bark. Easy-going and pretty too. S/M

A chartreuse leaved selection with new growth flushed bronze. Like the species, profuse pink flowers in the spring. Will grow to a 12 foot shrub, but gets leggy with age and is best to cut it back hard every few years to rejuvenate. Probably best with a little shade to keep the yellow foliage from burning. Zone 5..

The golden yellow foliage of this new Beautybush makes it a standout in the landscape and really lights it up in fall when the foliage turns to shades of orange. Loads of light pink trumpet-shaped flowers are borne in spring.
