Stachyurus praecox
early stachyurus
Notes:
Not recommended for Sunset zone 37 (stops at 34 and 39).
Avoid hot, dry sites. Shelter to protect winter flower buds; Sunset recommends planting under deciduous trees for this purpose, but if they're deciduous then how would that even help? Missouri BG suggests espalier on a southern wall.
