Diosma hirsuta 'Sunset Gold' stands out with its golden-yellow, fine-textured evergreen foliage. Originating from the fynbos region of South Africa, this low-growing shrub brings year-round vibrancy to gardens with its radiant leaves. While it's mainly grown for its foliage, 'Sunset Gold' does produce small, starry white flowers that contrast beautifully against the yellow backdrop, making it an appealing choice for borders, rock gardens, and containers.
Why We Like It
- Brilliant golden-yellow foliage lights up the garden throughout the year.
- Compact growth habit makes it suitable for both borders and containers.
- The contrast of white flowers against the gold foliage is visually striking.
What to Know
- Prefers full sun to partial shade for optimal coloration.
- Plant in well-draining soil and ensure moderate watering, allowing the soil to dry between intervals.
- Offers a good level of frost resistance, but sheltering it during extreme frosts can be beneficial.
- A light trim after the flowering season can help maintain its dense, bushy shape.
- Generally disease and pest-resistant, but occasional monitoring is beneficial.
Foliage Colour
- Golden-yellow.
Flowering Months
- Typically blooms in late spring, around April to May, but occasional flowers might appear in other seasons.
