About this plant

'Joy Forever' is an early spring-flowering shrub that, like the species, bears stiff hanging racemes of pale lemon cup-shaped flowers around 2 weeks after S. praecox. Its difference lies in the dark green leaves that are edged, and sometimes spotted, with yellow before taking on a bronze tinge in autumn
