    The Gold Finger plant is a fast growing shrub or woody vine with leathery leaves. The plant can attain heights and spread of 4 - 6 feet; producing 2 inch long bright orange to yellow-orange flowers from spring until fall. Gold Finger plant can survive temperatures in the 20's, and if heavily mulched will re-sprout after a severe freeze.
