 Dream Catcher     Beautybush Kolkwitzia a. 'Maradco'

 

 

Everyone agrees that Beauty Bush is spectacular in bloom but that it traditionally goes into hiding for the rest of the year.

This is no longer the case with Dream Catcher with its golden yellow foliage and orange highlights.

Loads of soft pink blooms in early spring are icing on the cake.

For best performance site it in filtered or partial shade; Also unique to this clone is its splendid golden-orange fall color.

What people are saying ...

As soon as I saw this plant I knew I would have to have it. Even though the one I have it quite small I have put it in a container and it's already showing promise of stealing the show on our patio. I was a little confused though as the plants description mentioned that it could take full sun or shade and then also stated that the plant 'performs best' in filtered or partial shade. Which condition provides the most vivid colour? Which ever it is, I love it already!        Gail, Ontario Canada, Zone 5
