Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Attractive bright-yellow twigs are especially eye-catching in winter with a snowy background to set them off! Its fine clean foliage and a resistance to canker make this vigorous rounded 5-8' shrub an excellent addition to any garden. Excellent in rain gardens or as a showy hedge; also great in wildlife gardens as butterflies love the white-blossoms and birds adore the whitish drupes that follow. S-PSh/M-W
