Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Sunglo, or Primrose Jasmine, is astunning yellow-leaf Jasmine with stiff canes that can be trained to a trellis, allowed to cascade over a wall or become a weeping shrub. Fragrant yellow flowers in spring and early summer, golden new growth throughout the season. Evergreen in frost-free zones, has survived in containers in z7 and is truly deer resistant. Grows in some shade but will have fewer flowers. A Brushwood favorite!(syn. J. primulinum)
A new twist on an old garden favorite! The glowing golden and golden variegated new growth provide the appearance of a Forsythia but this one revels in Southern summers. The bright yellow flowers which are borne in early spring into summer are almost lost among the brilliant yellow foliage. A large, weeping, evergreen shrub which can also be grown like a climber (with support) or allowed to trail down a slope or over a drop off. Our 1 gallon plants are multibranched and are already 24"+H x 24"+W!
