Chrysogonum virginianum var. virginianum
Green-And-Gold, Goldenstar Zones: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Here is the attractive, ever-blooming, low growing, low maintenance perennial that everyone wants. Actually, Green-and-Gold only flowers from March through October, but that's about the longest span you'll find among wildflowers. Peaking in May, the 1-inch wide, 5-petaled flowers look like little yellow daisies rising just above or nestled among neat, dark green, 9 inch high mounds of foliage. For best growth, give Green-and-Gold sun or light shade and rich, well-drained soil. Excessive moisture and organic mulches encourage fungal attacks so water sparingly, use a pea gravel or sand mulch, or mulch very lightly with organic mulch under the leaves. Green-and-Gold is an excellent plant for the front of the perennial border, retaining most of its green leaves throughout the winter. It would also be good for a rock garden or along a sunny path. Good companion plants include Fire Pink, Alumroot, Sundrops, Eared Coreopsis, Dwarf Crested Iris, and Lyre-leaved Sage. Cat# 1052
