FOTHERGILLA gardenii (Dwarf Fothergilla) Dark green leaves turn a brilliant combination of yellow/orange/red in late fall.  In late April-early May, before the leaves emerge, fragrant flowers appear in the form of 2", white, bottle-brushes at the ends of the stems. Reaches 2-3 or possibly 4' tall and wide, with a fairly dense, mounded form. A gem for light shade though best flower and foliage color will occur in sun in rich, acidic, well drained soil. Zones 5-8.

(limited supply)

GENISTA lydia Low, arching, green stems and matching small, needle-like leaves widely spaced on the stems, 1-2ft. high with a greater spread. In May-June, ½ long, bright yellow, flowers virtually engulf the stems.  Requires a site in hot full sun with well drained, dry soil. Research done at the University of Maine has established that plants are hardy to zone 4.
