Perfect For
Excellent in mixed borders, as informal hedging, or in containers. Ideal for adding early spring colour to smaller gardens, courtyards, or as part of a spring-flowering shrub collection.
Growing Tips
Plant in well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade; more flowers in sunnier positions. Tolerates most soil types including chalk. Prune immediately after flowering, removing oldest stems at the base to encourage new growth. Water during dry spells until established.

A reliable and vibrant shrub that brings joyful golden colour to the early spring garden.
