Description:
This low-growing evergreen shrub is easy to mistake for a perennial in colder areas, where it may be cut to the ground by heavy frost. The sage green leaves are attractive and effectively show off the stems of whorled golden flowers in tiers rising above the foliage. Grows up to 1m (3ft) and as wide.
Cultivation:
Sow seed in containers in a coldframe in spring. Grow on in any moderately fertile soil with good drainage. For maximum freshness, please keep seed refrigerated in its original packaging until it is time to plant.
