This low perennial, the Virginia Goldenstar, makes a great groundcover or rock garden plant. Its native range is from Pennsylvania & West Virginia down to Florida to Louisiana. I see it occasionally in gardens and professional landscapes, but it should be used more. It is an easy, reliable plant of low maintenance. It is easy to divide or transplant. Some are sold by conventional nurseries with perennials and by native plant nurseries.

Use golden star in groups or as a ground cover in a woodland garden, or plant it in a rock garden.
