A compact, bushy, evergreen perennial to around 30cm in height, with a branching habit, forming rosettes of bright yellow foliage in spring which changes to green into the summer. As the temperature drops towards autumn, the stem tips become a coppery, rusty-orange. Clusters of yellow-green flowers with a red eye appear in spring, often producing a second flush of flowers in mid summer. Perfect as a container plant
