A twinkling burst of color in your landscape
With its enchanting bright yellow new growth, this shrub creates a delightful contrast against its mature green foliage. The irregular upright mound showcases a unique texture, and the vibrant yellow fades to a soft light green by season’s end. In winter, it takes on a more subtle look, similar to its parent plant, ‘Tansu’, yet still maintains its charm. As a yellow sport, the small-scale foliage adds a splash of brightness, making it a perfect choice for rock gardens or decorative containers.
This versatile shrub not only enhances your landscape with color but also brings a sense of character. Its unique growth habit and eye-catching foliage can elevate any outdoor space, whether planted solo or paired with other plants. With minimal care required, ‘Twinkle Toes’ is an attractive option for gardeners looking to add a colorful focal point to their home.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a location with well-drained soil and plenty of sunlight for optimal growth. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball and place the plant in, backfilling with soil, and water thoroughly to help settle the soil around the roots. Spread a 3 feet layer of mulch around the plant.
2. Watering: Water regularly for the first season to establish a strong root system. Once established, this shrub is somewhat drought tolerant, but ensure it gets watering during extended dry spells to keep it healthy.
3. Pruning: Prune lightly to maintain shape if needed, ideally in early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead or damaged branches to promote healthy growth.
4. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to boost growth and color. This will help your plant thrive throughout the growing season.
