"An awesome plant for northern landscapes: a gold-leaf version of 'Tor'! Buds with hinges of red in them open to white spring flowers. Sunny yellow foliage holds its color well, and the full, compact habit is very attractive. Also, it doesn't burn in the summer and has great fall color. If you're looking for a colorful, hardy plant that will look great all season, this is the variety for you!" -- Spring Meadow Nursery [Spiraea]
