RE: spirea Mellow Yellow

Thanks Glen,
I think I'll give it a whirl anyway. At $20, I won't be out much.
Did you have snow cover the year you lost it? I will have to re-site the home though, I was going to put it at the bottom of the hill, now I'll put it nearer the house.

Cheryl,

I think I have grown this plant.  It had narrow leaves with a beautiful
golden colour.  If that matches what you saw, it is a selection of Spirea
thunbergii.  It grew beautifully for a couple of years then was quickly
eliminated.  I am in Zone 4b, maybe a touch colder than you. Spirea
thunbergii is not reliably hardy here. -20F will be the absolute minimum for
this species.  Anything below that, and there will be considerable damage.

Does any one know this plant?

I saw it today at the garden center near my Mom's on Cape Cod. The
tag said hardy to -20F which should be ok here, but wanted to ask
here.
