Description
Chrysogonum virginianum ‘Superstar’ Green-And-Gold, commonly known as Green-and-Gold or Goldenstar, is a low-growing, evergreen groundcover native to the southeastern United States, prized for its vibrant golden-yellow star-shaped flowers and glossy, dark green foliage. This cultivar, ‘Superstar’, is noted for its vigorous spreading habit, forming dense mats that provide excellent erosion control and weed suppression in shaded to partially sunny garden areas. Its unique combination of bright blooms and persistent foliage makes it an attractive choice for mass plantings, borders, and woodland gardens, where it thrives in well-drained soils with moderate moisture. Historically, Chrysogonum virginianum has been valued for its ornamental appeal and adaptability, often used by gardeners seeking a resilient, low-maintenance perennial that blooms from spring through early summer. The ‘Superstar’ selection has garnered attention for its superior flower production and extended bloom period compared to standard varieties, enhancing its appeal in landscape design.
