Description:
Coleonema Compactum Gold, commonly known as Dwarf Gold Breath of Heaven, is a compact, evergreen shrub prized for its fine, aromatic golden-yellow foliage and delicate pink flowers. This hardy plant blooms profusely in late winter and spring, with small star-like flowers that attract bees and butterflies. It thrives in well-drained soil and prefers a sunny position, although it can tolerate part shade.
