Luminescent yellow stems are brightest in winter and sought out for winter plant arrangements. Round flat flower cymes up to 2" wide appear in early spring as the smooth glossy green deeply veined foliage emerges. Small white drupes are visible in summer. Suckers and spreads over time and can be used where erosion control is needed. Annual pruning is recommended for keeping stem color bright. More resistant to canker than C. sericea. Very adaptable to a wide range of soil conditions. Full sun to partial shade. Native to Asia. Z3. (1-3') BACK!
