This deciduous, upright shrub is known for its sunny yellow double flowers that exude a delightful fruity fragrance, making it a showstopper in any garden. Hardy in zones 5-9, it thrives in full sun and prefers well-draining, slightly acidic soil enriched with organic matter. Reaching a mature height of 4-5 feet and a spread of approximately 3-4 feet, it forms a bushy, rounded habit ideal for borders, beds, or containers. It is moderately deer-resistant and produces persistent flowers throughout the growing season. While it doesn’t offer remarkable fall color or fruit, its continuous blooms compensate beautifully. Provide some winter protection for harsh climates to enjoy its cheery and robust presence year after year.
