This is the ‘bees knees’ shrub introduction of the decade! Bright yellow foliage May-June makes US happy…profuse golden yellow, honeysuckle-like, super nectar flowers make the bees, butterflies and other pollinators CRAZY. Wonderful multi-use plant for the sunny garden forms a neat, deciduous mound 3’ tall and 4’ wide. Sun is best, decent draining garden soil, water when dry… also happy in a pot on a deck or balcony. This is what the BUZZ is all about. Deer resistant, drought tolerant.
