plant sale text:Like its more widespread cousin green-and-gold, Gulf Coast green-and-gold has cheerful yellow daisy-like flowers and makes a nice semi-evergreen groundcover. However, Gulf Coast green-and-gold has a more creeping, stoloniferous form with shorter flower stems and spreads by above-ground stolons (as opposed to underground rhizomes). Green-and-gold is a versatile long-bloomer so you are sure to enjoy it in your garden.
