Why We Love It:
‘Tiffindell Gold’ forms a lush carpet of bright green foliage topped with cheerful yellow blooms that light up sunny garden spaces. Tough, adaptable, and drought tolerant once established, it spreads gently to fill gaps between plants and soften edges without becoming overwhelming. Its dense evergreen growth and long-lasting color make it an excellent alternative to traditional turf in water-wise landscapes and sunny groundcover plantings.

Additional Info:
Deer resistant and easy to grow in a wide range of climates and garden settings. Performs best in well-drained soils and responds well to occasional trimming if a tidier appearance is desired. Suitable for coastal gardens, high-elevation landscapes, rock gardens, and naturalized areas where a durable evergreen groundcover is needed.
