Royal Gold Woadwaxen, genista tinctoria 'Royal Gold', is a low growing, compact selection that exhibits bright green foliage and numerous golden yellow flowers blooming in July.

It has fine, grey-green leaves and stems, and there is some yellow color in autumn. It only reaches about 2 feet in height. It needs poor soil to perform well and to contain its growth, so this colorful shrub is both low-water and low-maintenance. ... get more information

Spice Bush The Spicebush, Lindera bezoin, is a native deciduous shrub with a broad, rounded habit which typically grows 6-12' high. Clusters of tiny, aromatic, greenish-yellow flowers bloom along the branches in early spring before the foliage emerges. Drupes are very attractive, but are largely hidden by the foliage until the leaves drop. Thick, oblong, light green leaves (to 5" long) turn an attractive yellow in autumn. Leaves are aromatic when crushed. The larva (caterpillar) of the spicebush swallowtail butterfly feeds on the leaves of this shrub. Lindera is named for the Swedish botanist, Johann Lindler. It is used for shrub borders, shade or woodland gardens, moist areas along streams or ponds, native plant gardens or naturalized plantings. They are easily grown in average, medium wet, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Fall color is best in sunny areas.
