Plant details
This unusual plant is grown for its mounds of attractive ferny foliage, which is bright gold in spring. As summer progresses it fades to green, but still provides useful foliage detail in a sunny border. Plant between spring or summer flowers to dilute a bright colour scheme or separate strong or clashing colours. It is also a very useful addition to a foliage garden. Plants flower in spring, with tiny white flowers. These are individually insignificant, but make some impact with their branching heads.
