Producing its golden-yellow flowers so profusely, this large shrub can be literally covered... a glow in the early spring garden. S-PSh/M
One of the first to bloom and does so so profusely, that this large shrubs can just be literally covered with blooms. THE shrub expert Michael Dirr says "have one plant that flowered so profusely that the branches were almost hidden by the flowers." Stunning in the winter garden, especially when it snows! Next to impossible to find in the trade.
