'Flaviramea' has stunning, bright yellowish-green stems which add colour to the winter garden. It contrasts perfectly with the foliage of evergreen shrubs and early spring-flowering bulbs. It's tolerant of a wide range of soils, and produces the brightest winter bark when planted in full sun. To keep the size of the plant in check and to encourage the most colourful bark, remove a third of the stems back to ground level each spring.
