Description
Gold flame boasts attractive bunches of pink flowers that literally sparkle in the sunlight due to their long crystal covered filaments. This dazzling effect plays a huge role into why Spires have become so popular over the years, among a whole host of other beneficial qualities. What truly sets Gold flame apart from other sparkling Spires however, is its exceptionally bright neon-yellow foliage. These colorful leaves play 2 important roles. Firstly, the yellow coloring provides a sharply contrasting backdrop against the lovely pink flower clusters which serves to highlight both beautiful colors. Secondly, the neon-yellow foliage continuously adds bright color to landscapes in between periodic blossoming of the flowers. An abundance of rose-pink miniature flowers bloom within inflorescences, which refers to a tight cluster of many small flowers blooming together in unison. Flower bunches blossom all the way around the ever-changing foliage of this compact shrub.
