A bright gold-yellow foliage form of V. opulus.  Slower growing than the species but ultimately maturing to 9' tall and 7' wide.  Flower clusters are a flat-topped cyme with an outer ring of sterile flowers and a center ring of fertile florets.  Foliage is a reasonably good yellow when emerging but fading to yellow green.  In hot, full sun the color is either lost or burns, so growing in afternoon shade is advisable, making it a good contrast plant.  Fruit is bright red, persisting into winter, drying like red raisins.  Zone (3)4
