Description

Lemon Candy™ is a compact, upright ninebark selected for its luminous lemon-yellow spring foliage that matures to chartreuse, showy white late-spring blooms, and exfoliating bark that adds winter interest. Bred by Peter Podaras in a controlled program in Ithaca, New York (open-pollinated selections made in 2006), it was later granted a U.S. plant patent. It’s described as the largest of the dwarf Gum Drop™ series, valued for durability and ease in average, well-drained soils, with notable tolerance of drought, clay, and erosion.

Bright lemon-yellow new foliage aging to chartreuse.
Compact, bushy habit with exfoliating “nine-bark” winter interest.
Tough and adaptable; tolerates drought, dry/clay soils, and erosion.
