Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Our name for this spreading form with chartreuse foliage and white flowers. Very possibly the same form as 'Gold Wing'. By any name, good draping over the sides of rock walls or pots. Best with a bit of protection from afternoon sun. Frost hardy in USDA zone 9, into 8 with mulch.
