Popcorn Drift Rose is a spreading long-blooming deciduous shrub with dense blooms of small butter-yellow flowers that fade to creamy white from mid-spring through summer. The glossy deep black-green foliage has no fall color and can be used as a groundcover. Best grown in full sun and rich, moist, slightly acidic well-drained soils. Excellent disease resistance.
