DESCRIPTION
Corylopsis spicata 'Aurea' is a deciduous shrub known for its vibrant, golden-yellow foliage that brightens the garden from spring through fall. The leaves emerge as a soft yellow in spring, deepening to a rich golden hue as they mature, adding a warm glow to the landscape. In early spring, before the leaves fully unfurl, the shrub produces delicate, pendulous racemes of pale yellow, fragrant flowers that hang gracefully from the branches. These blooms are among the first to appear, providing early-season interest and attracting pollinators. As the season progresses, the foliage retains its golden color, making 'Aurea' a striking choice for adding color and light to shaded or partially shaded garden areas. In autumn, the leaves may take on a subtle orange tint before they fall, extending the plant's visual appeal.
