This compact deciduous shrub features a mounded habit with a stunning display of bright golden-yellow foliage that matures to a vibrant greenish-yellow, providing excellent fall color as it transitions to shades of bronze and red. Ideal for USDA hardiness zones 4-8, it thrives in full sun to light shade and prefers well-drained soils but tolerates a wide range of soil types. Producing clusters of small, rosy-pink flowers in late spring to early summer, this plant adds delightful color contrast to gardens and borders. It typically grows to a mature height of 18-24 inches with a similar spread, making it a great choice for smaller landscapes. Its deer-resistant qualities enhance its appeal for areas with wildlife, while its low maintenance needs make it perfect for both beginners and experienced gardeners.
