A Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit holder, it carries arching wiry spikes of clear, butter-yellow, six-petalled trumpets from mid-July through August, set against fresh-green, sword-like foliage that holds its texture beautifully through the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the cultivar to reach for when you want the late-summer fireworks of a montbretia in a warmer, sun-drenched colour palette rather than the obvious red.
