Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A 2022 Cistus Nursery introduction - this larger than life gold dust originated as a seeding from A.J. 'Alabai'. This new celebrity produces larger than life (8" or larger) leaves speckled golden on a plant reaching 6-8 feet. The darker stems help show off the dazzling leaves. Perfect for that dim corner with nearly full to dappled shade and occasional summer water where dry. USDA zone 6.
