Corylopsis spicata is a refined deciduous shrub prized for its delicate, pale yellow flower spikes that appear in early spring, often before the leaves emerge. Lightly scented and elegant, the flowers bring welcome colour to woodland and shaded garden settings. Preferring moist, humus-rich soil and a sheltered position, this low-maintenance shrub is an excellent choice for adding early-season interest to acid or woodland-style planting schemes.
