A vibrant deciduous shrub with an upright and arching habit, this cultivar thrives in USDA hardiness zones 5-8 and prefers full sun to partial shade. It displays an impressive burst of golden-yellow flowers in early spring before the foliage emerges, making it a standout in any landscape. The dark green leaves provide a lush backdrop throughout the growing season, turning a muted green in fall. It reaches a mature height of 6-8 feet with a similar spread and showcases an overall rounded shape. It is tolerant of a variety of well-drained soils but performs best in moist, fertile soils. This shrub is moderately deer-resistant and is a great choice for hedges, borders, or as a standalone statement in gardens. Minimal maintenance makes it an ideal pick for both beginner and experienced gardeners.
