Leaves emerge in a fresh, bright chartreuse hue. Tiny, fragrant yellow-to-white flowers appear in mid-to-late spring. While relatively small, they provide a valuable early food source for pollinators.

In full sun, the foliage turns a "citrusy" yellow and is will not scorch in the heat of summer.

The vibrant yellow begins to take on subtle orange or reddish highlights as temperatures drop.

This deciduous shrub will lose its leaves in late fall or early winter. But, its mounded form provides structure in the winter landscape.
