This stunning deciduous shrub boasts a distinct upright habit that makes it a striking addition to gardens. Thriving in USDA zones 4–8, it is well-suited to temperate climates and performs best in full sun to partial shade. Its narrow leaves emerge with vibrant orange hues that deepen to rich copper tones as the season progresses, providing excellent fall color. Though small yellow flowers may appear in spring, the main attraction remains its foliage. 'Orange Torch' adapts well to various soil types but prefers well-drained locations. With deer resistance and a compact height of 3–4 feet, it offers practical beauty in both urban and rural landscapes. Its shape is columnar and upright, creating an eye-catching focal point, while its mature weight is negligible as a shrub. Perfect for borders, hedges, or accent planting.
