Weeping, asymmetrical form and golden-yellow color adds flow and color to the garden. Early spring brings bright lime green new growth. Foliage that is fully exposed to the sun turns a vibrant yellow in late spring and summer. The brilliance continues until winter when the color becomes more subdued. Can be allowed to ramble as a ground-cover, drape over rock walls, or become a garden feature when staked upright.
