Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

'Gold Flame' is a deciduous shrub with a tight, mounded habit, growing to about 2 to 3 feet tall and 4 feet wide. New leaves emerge with a golden yellow, mature to a yellow-green, and end with a yellow-orange fall color. The flowers are rosy pink, with the heaviest flowering in June, followed by sporadic blooming into the fall (deadheading will help to encourage more consistent flowering). For perennial, shrub, or foundation borders.
