The bright yellow flower clusters are globular in shape and are produced in the leaf axils in late winter to spring.

WHERE IT GROWS & WHY:

Hardy plant suitable for a wide range of climates and soils, provided they are reasonably well drained, athough it is probably at its best in less humid areas.
It prefers full sun or partial shade.

MANAGEMENT/SIGNIFICANCE

The dense soft foliage makes a good screen and the brilliant yellow flowers offer seasonal colour.
Relativity short-lived with an expected life of about 15 years.
Once fully grown it takes up a lot of room so is not suitable for small or medium sized gardens.
