Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A breath of sunshine in spring, the foliage of this 4-6' shrub opens a soft-yellow with pale pink flowers and turns, by mid-summer, to lime-green; combine it with any of a myriad of early blue perennials for a perfect picture. S/M
Glowing yellow foliage emerges in spring and gradually fades to spring green on this handsome, deciduous shrub, to 4-6 ft tall and as wide. Pink flowers brushed with purple appear in late spring and early summer adding yet more bright cheer. Bright light with protection from the hottest sun keeps the foliage fresh along with regular summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 5.
A brilliant yellow foliage covers this plant spring to fall. The flowers are soft pink which makes a nice compliment. Needs afternoon shade.
