PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The gold foliage gives strong contrast without needing flowers to carry the planting. |
| Growth Rate | B | It spreads at a steady pace, but it will not cover bare ground overnight. |
| Maintenance | A- | Once established, it usually needs little beyond watering during dry starts and occasional edge control. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer usually pass this by, since the foliage deters browsing, though no plant is completely immune where pressure is severe. |
| Small Space Fit | C+ | It stays low, but the spreading habit can outgrow tight front-bed spots. |
| Screening Value | F | This is a groundcover, not a plant for privacy or blocking views. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for open, dry banks where mulch washes out and taller shrubs would look heavy. Give it room to spread and do not crowd it against walkways.

Customers Usually Ask
Will it stop weeds?
It helps once filled in, but mulch and hand-weeding are still needed early.
Can I prune the edges?
Yes, light trimming is fine to keep it off paths or walls.
Does it need rich soil?
No, drainage matters more than rich soil.
Why Choose Shrubs for a Stronger Landscape?
- Structure & Definition: Shrubs frame homes, define walkways, and create organized planting beds.
- Privacy & Screening: Many varieties grow dense and full, making them ideal for natural hedges and property boundaries.
- Seasonal Color & Texture: From evergreen foliage to flowering varieties, shrubs provide visual interest in every season.
