Description
Ornamental herbaceous perennial up to 15/20 cm high, suitable for creating uniform covers of persistent foliage studded with numerous golden-coloured flowers in dense inflorescences. Its developed habitus allows it to be used for flower beds and rock gardens as well as balconies and terraces. It is also an 'insect friendly' plant whose spring blooms are attractive to insects useful for pollination and the preservation of biodiversity such as bees and butterflies.
