Chrysogonum virginianum, also known as goldenstar, is a low-growing perennial groundcover that features bright yellow flowers in spring and a lush green foliage that persists through summer and fall. Its compact size and deer-resistant nature make it an excellent choice for shaded or woodland gardens where it can spread beautifully.
