Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Remember the yellow-flowered Basket of Gold, once in the Alyssum genus? Cheery bright spots in the spring. This is a variegated selection of that plant, with leaves that are green, edged with white, and in spring sprays of apricot-golden flowers nearly covering this small perennial, to 8-12" tall x 12-18" wide. Enjoys full sun or afternoon shade and requires excellent drainage. Tolerant of dry periods but accepts average summer water. Frost hardy to -30 °F, USDA zone 4.
