This is a dense, evergreen shrub with a spreading, mounding habit and a rich, golden-yellow foliage that holds its color year-round. Recommended for hardiness in Zones 4-9, it thrives in full sun exposure and tolerates a range of temperatures, performing best in well-drained, sandy or loamy soils. Its mature height reaches 2-3 feet with a spread of 4-6 feet, forming a graceful, wide mound. While it does not boast showy flowers or fruit, its luminous foliage provides excellent texture and contrast in the landscape. Deer-resistant and drought-tolerant once established, it is an ideal choice for low-maintenance gardens, foundation plantings, or rock gardens, remaining vibrant even in fall without significant color change.
