Description

Wide-spreading, suckering multi-stemmed shrub with many upright slender branches, often with an irregular, spreading, almost stratified appearance; excellent form and texture in the branching structure. Flowers white, anthers red, produced in July on cylindrical 8-12" long, 2-4" wide panicles; outstanding in flower. Fall color can be an excellent yellow, but seems to be strongly dependent on ideal environmental conditions.
