Product Details
A lovely easy to grow species with similar flowers to the asian A. amurensis. Foliage is very fine and almosty filamentous making a mass of growth reaching around 12 inches in height on plants which are well established (over 4 years old). As this green foliage expands, the flowers are borne and open just before the leaves. Flowers can be up to 3 inches wide if the books are to be believed but our experience says they are more like 2 inches or so. Being bright golden yellow and single, they brighten up the garden early in spring. Best on a neutral to limey soil and in full sun, although a little shade in the south may be preferable.
