Basket of Gold

Basket of Gold, Aurinia saxatilis 'Summit', is one of the most popular of spring-flowering perennials, most often seen in rock gardens or as a border edging. Summit forms a low bushy mound of grey-green leaves, smothered by masses of tiny, bright golden-yellow flowers for several weeks. Aurinia Summitis a drought tolerant groundcover that demands full sun. This Aurinia makes a perfect addition to your rock garden. Introduced by S&G Flowers, Aurinia Summitis an improved selection that is compact and has excellent disease resistance. Clip plants back by half, immediately after blooming, but do not prune in fall or early spring. This evergreen is not easily divided and is drought tolerant.
