The chartreuse foliage of this deciduous shrub will provide a bright spot in your garden from spring through fall.

The tan, exfoliating bark provides winter interest once the serrated leaves have dropped off in autumn.

It can also be grown in a large container but will probably need to be pruned more often to keep its size in check. It’s tolerant of urban pollution making it a great choice for urban gardens. It also produces small red berries in the fall.
