Moderate to fast-growing tropical evergreen shrub with an upright growth-habit to 6-8′ tall x 4-6′ wide. Can be pruned to maintain a smaller size or trained as a small single-trunk patio tree. Best suited to milder climates this popular variety features lush glossy green foliage and is prized for its eye-catching orange-tinged double golden-yellow flowers that appear throughout summer attracting butterflies and bees. Thrives in heat and sun. Well-suited as a large flowering accent foundation screen or hedge planting and does well in containers allowing it to be relocated and overwintered during the frost periods of colder climates. Prefers a well-drained soil with regular watering. Full to partial sun.
