Breath of Heaven ‘Sunset Gold’ | Coleonema pulchrum ‘Sunset Gold’
Breath of Heaven ‘Sunset Gold’ is a low, mounding evergreen shrub known for its bright golden foliage that provides year-round color. The fine, needle-like leaves release a pleasant fragrance when brushed, adding an aromatic element to the garden. In late winter through spring, the plant is adorned with masses of tiny, star-shaped pink flowers, making it an excellent choice for mixed borders, rock gardens, and coastal landscapes. Its vibrant chartreuse-gold foliage contrasts beautifully with darker plants and provides a soft, textured look in any setting.
