Aurinia saxatilis 'Sulphureum'

Basket-of Gold has been a popular garden plant since the early 16th century and was once thought to be an herbal cure for madness. Today, we grow it for its attractive grey-green evergreen foliage and enchanting golden-yellow flowers. This mat forming perennial looks best in the rock garden or tumbling over a wall.
