A low dense spreading mounded shrub. Soft rounded leaves on graceful stems which are covered in golden balls in spring and early summer. A handsome and low maintenance landscape accent. Plant along path edges for a soft mounded hedge effect, amongst bold rockwork, or in large containers for a stunning long-flowering focus in patio or courtyard environment. Flowers best in a sunny spot, but will also grow in part shade. Good frost tolerance. Grows in dry or moist soils, well drained gravels or sandy soils and adapts well to heavy clay soils. Attracts seed feeding birds.
