Stachyurus chinensis ‘Golden Joy’ is looking fabulous in our garden. This new gold-leaf sport of Stachyurus ‘Joy Forever’, discovered by plantsman Ron Rabidou, has been a wonderfully bright spot in the woodland garden at JLBG

Is this shade tolerant? How does this compare to Carolina parakeet? Is it smaller and more compact?
It hasn’t been around long enough to know mature size yet, but so far, it’s nicely compact and in part sun/shade.
Aren’t you fortunate to have this exciting plant in your garden. How about propagating it to make it available? Could not find it listed anywhere.
We haven’t propagated it yet, but will prop a few for one of the Southeastern Plant Symposium auctions.
