Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Medium yellow flowers in spring and summer. Upright and arching habit to 10'. Flowering maple. A group of evergreen shrubs featuring maple-shaped leaves and bold colored flowers that hang like festive ornaments from the stems. Fast growing, prone to insects and rather rangy, they require some work to look their best. Most reach 6-8’ tall with an equal spread. They need regular garden water and are not reliably hardy, perhaps to 25F
