Description

'Primavera' is an upright, vase-shaped cultivar with ascending branches and a spreading habit. It will typically grow 12-15' tall and is noted for its sweetly fragrant flowers and later bloom than most of the other x intermedia cultivars. Clusters of bright yellow, spider-like flowers with narrow petals to 5/8" long bloom in February to March. Broad-oval, bright green leaves to 6" long. Yellow-orange to yellow fall color can be quite attractive.
