Goldenstar Groundcover Plants - 25 Pack of 3.5" Square Pots - Green and Gold Perennial Flowers for Shade Gardens, Borders & Landscaping

Like overgrown buttercups, Chrysogonum virginianum 'Pierre', commonly known as Goldenstar, resembles thousand of small butterscotches atop pillows of green. This low growing , herbaceous mat-forming plant, is similar in structure to Ajuga . Prized for a long blooming time , the star-shaped sunny-yellow flowers (1- 1 1/2 inches long) dot mint-like foliage in early spring and continue sporadically throughout the summer. Superb in terms of both spread and degree to which it propagates flowers, Pierre creates a delightful ground cover or edging in any perennial border . Though Pierre does bear fruit, it is non-ornamental. The real focal point of this plant is the semi-evergreen , jade-green opposite leaves that are round-toothed along the edges, and reach 1-2 inches long. Excellent as a facer in naturalized gardens, 'Pierre' is especially useful for partial shade borders where, when in bloom, the flowers resemble tiny night lights in the darker shade. With a limited tolerance of foot traffic and a fair to good weed-suppressant rating, as well as a willingness to tolerate a wide range of well-drained, moist soils, this hardy perennial is an almost fool-proof choice. Because it spreads indefinitely, you can plant Pierre in large areas where you need expansive coverage and have the added benefit of long-lasting bloom season with golden blossoms polka dotting a carpet of green foliage. Interesting Facts Pierre is native to North Carolina and as such, is lovely in woodland garden scenes. Things to Note If grown in full sun , Pierre may need more water. In zones 8-9 , this plant will require afternoon or full shade. Gardener Tips Pierre is a perfect gentleman combined with evergreen and deciduous shrubs, small trees , ferns , and herbaceous perennials.
