Reaching heights of 2-3 metres, this unusual plant boasts light green, serrated leaves which turn yellow through autumn. Once the leaves fall you are left with the main feature of this plant – it’s beautiful bare, contorted branches. To add to its beauty, the bare branches develop yellow hanging catkins which take this plant’s uniqueness to a whole new level.

It’s an ideal choice for feature planting in courtyards, gardens, or pots. Especially where you want something eye-catching and different. Visit ASQ Garden & Landscape to see these quirky plants in person!
