Kolkwitzia amabilis 'Maradco' is a distinctive form of beauty bush grown for its luminous foliage and elegant spring flowering. The leaves emerge in bright golden tones, holding their colour best in part shade, before softening later in the season. In late spring, arching branches are lined with soft pink, bell-shaped flowers, adding seasonal interest and contrast. Hardy and adaptable, this shrub makes an excellent focal point in borders or as a stand-alone specimen where light foliage and graceful form are desired.
