| Description | Pinus mugo Aurea
An unusual form of Dwarf Mountain Pine, the 'Amber Gold' Mugo Pine turns from a green in the summer months to a luminescent gold in the winter. This compact, slow growing pine makes for a perfect low maintenance hedge. Due to its stunning foliage colour, it makes a wonderful winter colour feature plant that can be kept in either pots and containers or directly in the garden.
Pinus 'Amber Gold' tolerates most soils, providing they drain well and prefers a full sun position. | Acacia acinacea Pot o' Gold™
Acacia 'Pot o' Gold™' is a mounding groundcover with delicate weeping branches and tiny little leaves. In the spring it is covered in golden flowers, particularly if planted in a sunny position, putting on a brilliant show.
'Pot o' Gold™' Wattle tolerate frosts, poor soils and coastal conditions, requiring very little maintenance and watering once established. It can be planted along pathways, cascading over retaining walls or feature boulders or kept in a pot.
