    We're always looking for easy to grow and happy foliage plants for the shade garden and Leucosceptrum 'Gold Angel' fits the bill. Commonly called Japanese Shrub Mint, 'Gold Angel' has glowing lemon yellow foliage and forms 3' x 3' mounds. We should mention the creamy yellow salvia like flowers add interest in September and October, and are attractive to bees and butterflies.
