ShrubDescription
Rounded, multi-stemmed shrub with mostly erect stems, appearing very dense due to the leaves being closely borne along the stems. Fall color ranges from yellow to scarlet and orange, often with all three colors present in the same leaf. Flowers honey-scented, apetalous, the showy portion being the stamens, borne in 1" to 2" long, bottlebrush-like spikes in April to early May.
