Coleonema pulchellum ‘Sunset Gold’ is a low-spreading evergreen shrub featuring aromatic, needle-like chartreuse foliage and profuse, tiny pink flowers. Ideal as a low formal or informal hedge, border accent, hillside erosion control or massed ground cover. Excellent weed suppression. Prefers full sun for the best golden-yellow color. It tolerates partial shade, though it becomes lighter lime-green and stretches. It requires regular watering to establish but becomes quite drought-resistant. Best in sandy loam, gritty soils. Requires excellent drainage, it cannot tolerate standing water, soggy roots, or heavy, compacted soil. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Moderate resistance to Verticillium wilt. Cold hardy to 20°F.
