This multi-hued groundcover produces sulphur yellow flowers with red-orange centers in summer. It is low growing, reaching a height of no more than three inches. The leaves are variegated with predominantly green centers and pale yellow margins but can take on a pinkish tinge as well. In Zone 7-8 (Willamette Valley, OR), it is semi-evergreen in sunny situations.
