Green-And-Gold

About this plant

Chrysogonum virginianum 'Pierre', commonly known as Green-And-Gold, is a delightful semi-evergreen perennial celebrated for its continuous display of cheerful golden-yellow, star-shaped flowers. Blooming prolifically from spring well into fall, these charming blossoms create a vibrant carpet, making it an exceptional choice for shaded borders, woodland gardens, or as an underplanting beneath taller shrubs and trees. 'Pierre' forms a dense, neat mound of attractive, scalloped green foliage that remains largely evergreen in milder climates, providing year-round interest. This particular cultivar is noted for its slightly more compact habit and robust blooming. Extremely versatile and tough, Green-And-Gold tolerates a range of conditions once established. Its ability to thrive in partial to full shade while resisting deer and attracting beneficial pollinators makes it an invaluable addition to any eco-conscious landscape seeking continuous color and texture.

Installation timing

When we're in season, outside of the winter months, our goal is to get your plants installed within about two weeks. That window gives us enough time to secure your plants from our supplier and find a spot on the schedule. Throughout the process we stay in touch through notifications and your existing client portal on the main A Cut Above website, which is separate from this landscaping plants shop.

Care & maintenance

Requires minimal maintenance once established. Water regularly during dry periods, especially in its first year. Amend heavy clay soils with organic matter to improve drainage. Deadheading is not necessary for continuous bloom. Can be divided in spring or fall to propagate or manage spread.

Watering suggestions

Proper watering is the single most important factor in your plant's survival after installation. Newly installed plants have a limited root system and rely on you for consistent moisture while they establish.

• First 2 weeks: Water deeply every day (or every other day in cooler, wet weather), soaking the root ball and surrounding soil.
• Weeks 3–12: Water deeply 2–3 times per week, adjusting for rain, heat, and soil drainage.
• After establishment: Water deeply about once a week during the growing season, and more often in extreme heat or drought.
• How to check: Stick a finger 2–3 inches into the soil near the roots — if it's dry, it's time to water. Deep, less-frequent watering encourages strong roots; shallow daily sprinkles do not.
• Avoid: Overwatering (soggy, waterlogged soil) is just as harmful as underwatering and can drown roots.

Watering needs vary by plant, season, soil, and exposure. Because proper watering is the customer's responsibility after installation, please make sure you understand and can follow these suggestions before ordering.

Good to know: plants and trees purchased from and installed by A Cut Above include a one-year limited warranty from the date of installation. Because plant survival depends heavily on proper watering and care after installation, losses caused by improper care, neglect, animal or chemical damage, or extreme weather are not covered, and we must be given the chance to inspect a struggling plant before it's removed or replaced. Coverage is one replacement per plant. Read our warranty info.
