Relatively slow-growing compact deciduous shrub to 2’ tall and wide. This unique and highly desirable variety is prized for its abundance of dainty but striking bi-colored buttercup-like flowers that are a radiant yellow with orange colored centers. Blooming occurs against the background of its bright-green foliage throughout summer and is almost certain to attract butterflies. This low-maintenance species grows in a wide range of soil conditions and will look best if fertilized regularly. Great as a single specimen planted in mass or hedged or as a foundation or border planting. Moderate water needs once established. Prefers a full to partial sun exposure.
