Add season long color to the garden with this easy growing, bright beauty!
Numerous pearl like buds burst into attractive star shaped flowers in
spring. When the flowers have faded, this plant continues to shine with
its bright yellow foliage.
Growth is strong but compact to create a wonderful small shrub that is
equally at home in the shrub border as it is in the shrub border. Very
cool! Use it plants with dark green, blue or purple foliage. Add color and
vibrancy to any garden, especially in the spring when it blooms with its
delicate white flowers. |

What people are saying: I have 6 of the plants. 3 get approximately 5 hours of sun a day and have grown quite large. The other 3 get approximately 2 hours of sun a day and have not grown a lot, but are still absolutely beautiful. They are so easy. I have never trimmed them (in the past 2 years) but will cut the larger ones back after they bloom this spring. We have deer and rabbits (also fox, raccoons, possum and snapping turtles) and they don't bother the plants at all, unlike the hostas and black eyed susans which were devoured.
