How to grow
Easy in well-drained soil. Avoid planting Green and Gold in wet soil and low lying areas. Partial shade, preferably with a least a couple of hours of sun to produce a decent display of flowers. Plants can grow in full sun, but the flowers tend to discolor and look bleached out.
Care and maintenance
To prevent self-seeding, cut plants back after flowering.
Where to plant
At the front of shady borders and along the edges of woodland paths.
When to plant
The best time to plant is in the spring or fall.
Spacing
It can be planted 12 to 18 inches apart when planting in a grouping.
When will my plant flower?
Plants purchased in early spring will be in bud or flower. Green and Gold planted after mid-May will flower the following year.
Native habitat and range
Moist-to-fairly dry woodlands from south-central Pennsylvania to southeastern North Carolina and central South Carolina.
Source and origin
Plants are grown from seed off stock plants at the nursery. The original plants were grown from seeds collected at the edge of a woodland in Bladen County, North Carolina.
Comments
The variety we offer (virginianum) is clump-forming and does not run. There are two other varieties of Green and Gold that spread by stolons (stems on top of the ground) to form colonies.
