Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Evergreen mounding subshrub -- 6-12" x 18-30" across -- with the palest green leaves and cream to lemon-yellow flowers in spring and periodically through summer. As pretty in the winter as in summer and a great addition to the dry summer garden. Full sun to dappled shade; at its loveliest in brighter light and with well-drained, somewhat infertile soil. Particularly stunning when planted with darker green foliage or with contrasting dark blue or purple flowering plants. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7.
