This plant is appealing for more reasons than just its stunning gold-variegated leaves. Once established in the landscape, it is drought-tolerant and disease-resistant, and it gives interest to gardens throughout the year. When planted independently, it forms a low mound; when planted against a vertical surface, it climbs.
