The 'Golden Beacon' is aptly named as the glowing flowers are buttery yellow in colour and open up from rosy red buds. The pretty summer flowers later become glossy red fruits and these are popular with wildlife. The leaves of this shrub are ovate in shape, golden green in colour and have attractive red margins. This is a great choice for planting in a sunny bed or border.
