It is an evergreen upright shrub, 4 to 10 feet tall, 2 to 5 feet wide; opposite, ovate, dark green leaves, up to 6 inches long, 2.4 inches wide. Produces showy yellow blossoms from late spring to early summer. Golden Shrimp Plant sends out underground runners. With a few plants and a few years, your Golden Shrimp Plant will spread to fill in spaces.
