Corylopsis

Corylopsis spicata partial shade

Stiff, twiggy branches zigzag dramatically among the pale yellow flowers, accented with cardinal red anthers, and petals both buttery yellow and pistachio green. The final touch to all this beauty is the sweet, incenselike perfume. The new leaves that follow often emerge with a pinkish tinge, maturing to crisp deep green. Their rounded shape resembles hazelnut leaves.

Provide a sheltered location and acid soil, and be sure to include the flowers in an early spring bouquet.

Blooms March–April.

Size: 6' high x 8' wide; hardy to zone 6.
