Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Shared with us by plantsman Lance Reiners, this deciduous climber emerges with the brightest of golden color each spring, the leaves fading to a bright spring green only with heat. To 10-15' tall and eventually larger, with horizontally placed "lace-cap" flowers of white. The golden late season color of the faded flowers in combination with the bark makes for good winter interest. Medium shade for best effect and consistent moisture. Frost hardy in USDA zone 6b.
