Stephanandra incisa ‘Crispa’ – ​'Crispa' makes a very handsome ground covering shrub with arching branches that can self-layer where they touch the ground. The stems are covered with intricately notched and incised dark green leaves – very attractive. They turn consistently bright yellow in autumn here in northeastern Connecticut, some years touched with orange. Creamy light yellow May/June flowers occur in great numbers in small panicles. The tangle of light brown branches is attractive if not a bit wild in the winter landscape – like out of control Slinkies in a universe inspired by M. C. Escher! Or maybe an art project gone wrong by its creator on a manic rampage... Yes... I've said too much. Stephanandra incisa ‘Crispa’ would be smartly used as foreground planting with conifers, as an embankment shrub or wherever a dense, ground covering, self-layering shrub is desired. Cutting grown.
