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 a perennial one. Very cool! Use in place of dark green or purple foliage. Adds color and vibrancy to any garden.
Features
Bursts of fragrant white flowers cover this plant in spring. Little care is needed, but may be trimmed after flowering. Season long color. Deer resistant. Great for perennial gardens.
