Brilliant gold shrub that lights up borders and makes a pretty showy hedge as well. In late summer sporadic hot pink small flower clusters provide added contrast. Tough evergreen for nearly any soil type.New spring foliage is a soft lime green that gradually changes to tones of warm gold. Drought adapted. Foliage does not burn in full sun- in fact it takes the hottest aspects. Native to Chile. Takes well to pruning, otherwise can grow to around 1.5m.
