Sunset Gold Breath of Heaven (Coleonema pulchrum 'Sunset Gold', Coleonema pulchellum)
Sunset Gold Breath of Heaven (Coleonema pulchrum 'Sunset Gold', Coleonema pulchellum)
A compact and neat low evergreen perennial shrub (1-3 feet high by 4-5 feet wide at maturity) with fine, golden-green, needle-like leaves. Lots of tiny, white and pink flowers cover the plant from winter through spring (as does the larger ‘Pink Breath of Heaven” Coleonema) Leaves have a fragrance like nutmeg when rubbed or brushed against. Needs a sunny spot in any free draining soil or is also good in pots. Nice low, mounding shape is usual, but is easily pruned to a variety of other shapes. Needs Full Sun or only light shade, medium water and is drought tolerant once established. Prefers good drainage, but is also good in clay or other heavy soil, if you are careful to not overwater. Hardy to about 20° F and tolerates coastal windy conditions. A great plant for contrasting with different foliage textures and colors in the garden.
