Beautiful bright golden foliage stands out in the landscape. An extremely low growing groundcover, this new selection is great for adding some color to an area where erosion control is an issue, as it roots as it creeps and forms a spreading mat. Or just use it as a garden accent for some bright color as a contrast. Looks great with Barberries, Blue Junipers, and all shades of green. Junipers are among one of the toughest plants for the landscape. Junipers prefer open, sunny locations in well-drained soils. Once established, junipers need very little supplemental irrigation.
