Green and Gold 1 Live Groundcover Plant – Chrysogonum virginianum – 1 Gallon Pot

Green and Gold (Chrysogonum virginianum) is a North American native flowering perennial valued for its cheerful golden-yellow, star-shaped flowers and attractive green foliage. This low-growing plant develops a spreading, mat-forming habit that makes it particularly useful as a flowering groundcover in woodland gardens, shaded borders, and naturalistic landscapes.

Its bright yellow, daisy-like flowers appear primarily during spring, with occasional additional blooms possible later in the growing season. The blossoms rise above soft green, slightly hairy leaves and provide seasonal interest in partially shaded areas. Green and Gold is also appreciated for its ability to form attractive colonies through spreading stems, helping create a natural-looking carpet of foliage beneath trees and along garden pathways.

This listing includes one live Green and Gold plant in a 1 gallon nursery pot. It generally performs best in partial shade and prefers organically rich, well-drained soil with moderate moisture. Its foliage may remain evergreen to semi-evergreen in milder climates, while colder winter conditions can cause seasonal dormancy.
