To All: About 4 years ago,
I planted a batch of small ground cover plants that were dubbed by the grower
as "Gold Coin." I have forgotten their Latin name, and since I haven't
seen it since in any nurseries, I hoped someone might have the ID for
me. It has grown to dense mounds about 1ft. tall and 2ft. wide.
the leaves are small: 1/2 to 1" ,tongue-shaped, and covered with small white
hairs, as are the stems and sepals. They cover themselves right now and
less densely throughout the summer with 1-1/4" open-faced, gold flowers.
Each of the numerous ray flowers has three tiny teeth at the end of the
1/2" petal. They are evergreen, and receive occasional water during the
growing season. Thanks so much,
