Versatile fast-growing evergreen shrub to 5-7′ tall and wide though the sprawling stems can reach 12-15′ long with support. This highly useful landscape shrub features handsome year-round medium-green foliage highlighted with a profusion of showy tubular golden-yellow flower clusters that appear spring to fall. This selection is highly attractive to hummingbirds. Great choice for massing on hillsides as a hedge or screen and for training against fences or on trellises. Grows in a wide range of soils but prefers a well-drained soil and a full to partial sun exposure.
