Chrysogonum virginianum ‘Pierre’
Compact and low growing with green foliage and golden, daisy-like flowers in spring and re- bloom in fall
Evergreen in mild winters
Category: Perennials, Native Selection
Height: 3-6 in
Spread: 12-15 in
Bloom Color: Yellow
Foliage Color: Green
Remove spent flower stems for best ground cover appearance. Easily grown from seed and may self-seed in the garden.
Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in part shade to full shade. Prefers moist, acidic, organically rich soils in sun-dappled part shade. Tolerates full sun only if grown in consistently moist soils. Spreads by rhizomes to form an attractive ground cover, but is easily controlled.
Chrysogonum virginianum, commonly called goldenstar, is a rhizomatous, low-growing perennial which typically forms a foliage mat to 3-4” tall spreading to 18" wide or more. It is native to woodland areas from Pennsylvania to Florida and Louisiana. Star-shaped, daisy-like, bright yellow flowers (to 1.5” diameter) on stems originating in the leaf axils, bloom spring to fall in cool summer climates. Flowering stems rise above the foliage mat to a height of 8-10" tall. Each flower has five, rounded, slightly-notched, yellow petals and a center tuft of yellow disk flowers. Ovate, toothed, bright green leaves to 3” long.
Genus name comes from the Greek words chrysos meaning gold and gonu meaning joint in reference to the location of the flower stems at the leaf axils (stem joints).
Specific epithet means of Virginia.
Common name is in reference to the star-like shape of the 5-petaled flowers.
No serious insect or disease problems. Some susceptibility to mildew.
Ground cover for woodland gardens, native plant gardens or naturalized areas. Edging for woodland paths. Also may be used in shaded areas of border fronts or rock gardens.
