Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A golden form from Jacobsen in Denmark .

By: Arrowhead Alpines

A golden form with some green showing at the tips. Grows much more slowly than Aurea. When young it has a bun or mound form, later developing a central leader and becoming pyramidal. Misspelled by most and sold as 'Aurea Jacobsen.' Both names are technically illegitimate because Latin cannot be used in cultivar names published after January 1, 1959.
