    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Bright golden yellow blooms adorn the bare branches in early spring just as the golden yellow and rich green foliage begins to emerge. The bright yellow leaves will adorn the garden with their glow well into fall. The foliage may bleach in full sun, though it doesn't seem to deplete the plant's vigor.
