This golden-leaved version of the southern paper mulberry can be treated as a cutback shrub to control size and for best production of brilliant golden yellow, large, lobed leaves. Or it can be allowed to grow into a small- to medium-sized tree. It’s a most desirable garden plant and looks fabulous with deep blue salvias.
Noteworthy CharacteristicsGolden, lobed leaves.
CareGrow in full sun to light shade and well-drained soil.
