A vigorous deciduous shrub, this specimen features an upright, arching habit that adds charm to any landscape. Hardy in Zones 5-8, it thrives in temperatures ranging from -20°F to 10°F. Early spring is adorned with its striking yellow flowers, providing a cheerful burst of color even before the leaves emerge. The foliage transitions to a soft green in warmer months, with minimal fall color. Reaching a mature height of 6-8 feet and an equal spread, it forms a graceful, vase-shaped structure. Tolerant of average, well-drained soils, it adapts well to a variety of garden conditions. Though not deer-resistant, its resilience and brilliant springtime display make it a favorite choice for borders or mixed shrub plantings.
