Golden Star

Chrysogonum virginianum 'Superstar'

'Superstar' Golden Star grows in both bright and shady areas, creating a stunning delicate green carpet. with mid to late spring, the slightly fuzzy green leaves is covered with masses of bright yellow simple flowers, some of which rebloom when moisture levels are suitable. This natural groundcover, which was originally named after Norman Singer of the American Rock Garden Society, is resistant to deer and relatively simple to grow. The foliage is noticeably cleaner and more vigorous, and has been called "Superstar" to reflect this. This foliage will continue to look good long after the vibrant flower display is over.
