Comments:
Grows from 1-5 feet in height and spreads up to 4 feet. Prune in early spring as it flowers on new wood. Grows on a wide variety of soils including those that are rock and droughty. Has large number of bushy, yellow stamens that may obscure the petals. Exfoliating bark on older stems sheds to reveal attractive orange covering.
