Golden flowers are generally Yellow Gold not Old Gold or burnished gold.

I liked these pansies in what I think of as Old Gold.

Many plants have Gold in there title including;

• Lantana ‘New Gold’ and ‘Gold Mound’
• Achillea ‘Gold Plate’ and Achilea ‘Coronation Gold’
• Asclepias ‘Silky Gold’
• Bidens ‘Goldmarie’ and Bidens ‘Gold Spark’
• Roses Golden Wedding, Golden Years, Golden Wings, Gold Medal, Good as Gold and my favourite Goldbusch.

There are many other plants that have a gold tinge or colour to there leaves.

• Lonicera Baggins Gold
• Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Golden Fern’ and Golden Pygmy
• Acer japonica
• Chamaecyparis Lawsoniana Broomhills Gold, Ellwood’s Gold and Burford Gold.
• Golden Hop is probably as tall as many of the conifers.

 

Go for Gold and you may win a medal at your horticultural Olympics. At worst you will have had the fun of growing a special golden plant.
