    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Stunning planted as a specimen or as part of a hedge, this lovely 12-15' shrub has outstanding foliage which is golden-yellow in spring before deepening to a chartreuse-green in summer. This plant is a knockout when planted with darker leaved plants for contrast. Pretty creamy-yellow catkins in early spring put on a show before the foliage appears. S-PSh/M
