Description

Chrysogonum virginianum ‘Pierre’, commonly called Goldenstar or Green and Gold, is a wonderful North American native perennial groundcover that prefers life on the shady side. It was selected for its lower growing form and long bloom season. Growing to maybe 6 inches tall in flower, it forms a dense, spreading carpet of fuzzy green leaves from which rise very cute, 5 petaled, star-shaped flowers with yellow petals surrounding a tuft of golden stamens. In cooler summer climates it will bloom from spring through summer and into fall. In hot climates it blooms heavy in spring, rests in summer, and then reblooms in fall. Butterflies and other beneficial pollinators love the flowers. A charming and easy to grow groundcover ideal for use in moist to dry shade or part shade, but not constantly wet soils. Perfect for woodland gardens and under shade trees.

Chrysogonum virginianum is native to the East Coast and Gulf states, where it thrives in mesic to dry or rocky woodlands, but is most commonly found at forest edges.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing to about 6 inches tall and spreading18 inches or more, Pierre Green and Gold Chrysogonum is ideal for use in partially to fully shaded woodland settings , shade gardens, or as a border along paths or around patios. A fine addition to native gardens, yellow theme gardens, butterfly gardens, woodland gardens, or anywhere where there’s shade.

Suggested Spacing: 18 inches apart for mass plantings

Growing Preferences

Pierre Chrysogonum is easy to grow in most any moist to dry but well-drained soil of average or better fertility in part shade to shade. Very little to no maintence for this native. A light dose of organic flower food can be applied in early spring.

Plant Long & Prosper!
