    CORYLOPSIS PAUCIFLORA

    Slow growing and compact enough to fit in almost any garden with neutral or acidic soil, this shrub should be far more widely planted than it is. It has more charm and subtlety than the ubiquitous yellow forsythia that dominates so many suburban gardens and which also flowers at this time of year. Not only are the flowers sweetly scented, the young growth is handsomely bronze-coloured, autumn colour is a beautiful butter yellow and the tracery of the bare twigs a joy all winter long. Truly a shrub for all seasons. AGM*.

    Height 1.5m.

    Origin Taiwan and Japan.

    Conditions Acidic, well-drained soil; full sun to part shade.

    Hardiness RHS H5, USDA 6a-8b† .
