    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Evergreen shrub noted for its unusual golden-chartreuse, tomentose foliage and for its rich yellow flowers that appear in summer. The quilted-looking foliage combines nicely with wispy grasses like Stipa ramosissima and makes this a good choice for containers where it can enjoy a special place on patios or along walkways. Plants grow 4-5' and are slightly less wide than tall. Hardy to 20 °F.
