Soft yellow leaves create a luminous presence in borders, their pale golden hue brightening shady spots throughout spring and summer. As autumn approaches, the foliage deepens to warm buttery tones before falling to reveal striking red stems that add winter interest. More subtle in colour than many variegated types, it offers a sophisticated alternative for those seeking refined foliage effects. The upright, spreading habit works beautifully in mixed borders or as part of informal hedging, where its seasonal changes can be appreciated. Adaptable to various soil conditions including damp areas, it thrives in sun or partial shade while tolerating urban pollution. Particularly effective when planted in groups, where the combination of golden leaves and crimson winter stems creates year round visual appeal. A graceful choice for adding light and structure to planting schemes.
