Yellow is the color the eye sees first, and this plant's distinctive foliage is testament to that fact. Use it where you want to draw attention. Avoid planting as hedges or lining your foundation. It's best used sparingly in the landscape as a pop of color too many of these eye-catching shrubs distract from other important elements in the landscape (such as your house). And if your home is painted yellow, place other greenery behind this plant.
