This is a perennial, deciduous, and multi-stemmed shrub that typically grows 8 to 16 feet tall, and naturally occurs in dry or moist thickets. It thrives in full sun to partial shade, and in dry to moist soil, with a medium water requirement. This plant grows yellowish-brown catkins that appear in late winter and early spring, its leaves turning various colors from bright yellow to wine-red in the fall.
