Native Plants do well in the home landscape. The Green-and-Gold pictured above is growing in a front yard flowerbed beside a lawn. This little plant is low growing so makes a good ground cover at the front of a flowerbed. It is very hardy, drought tolerant and likes full sun. As pictured, it forms a dense colony that tends to spread in a round pattern. Divide the plants in spring or fall to spread them. Other plants in this bed are Rosemary (culinary variety), Piedmont Azalea (Rhododendron canescens), Daylilies and Jonquils. This colony spread from a rescued plant obtained from a Georgia Native Plant Society official rescue from a subdivision project but also grows naturally elsewhere on the property.
