A deciduous shrub with finely cut, bright yellow foliage that adds vibrant, eye-catching colour throughout the growing season. In early summer, it produces clusters of small, creamy-white flowers that attract pollinators, followed by dark purple berries that feed birds and wildlife. Its upright, slightly rounded growth habit makes it a striking focal point or accent in mixed borders and cottage-style gardens.
This shrub grows best in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. It is hardy, low maintenance, and provides bold seasonal contrast with its luminous foliage.
