Rarely offered. This plant has typical creamy yellow flowers in April. The difference is the margins of the leaves are creamy yellow contrasting with the deep green leaves.
Bright pink to buttery cream.
If 'Unique' is unique, imagine how excited we are to offer this new one! Unique is now variegated, creamy green margins on this new growth mature to golden green! The variegation is inconsistently broad and as in Rh. ponticum 'Variegatum' has made the leaf shape inconsistent as well. Same 'Unique flowers on a interesting shrub, yipppeeeee! ('Unique')
