Gold Watch

There are many golden plants available these days. Golden Hops suckers everywhere and grows fast, for good competition with grass below and the Giant Miscanthus it climbs on. Golden Ninebark is a bright-leaved bush and as an added bonus, flowers, too. A good contrast of colored Smoke trees(Cotinus).

Charlie’s Golden Autumn Olive

The Autumn Olive(Elaeagnus umbellata) is a fast growing shrub, with heavenly scented flowers and large quantities of healthy fruit in fall. Pictured above is the golden-fruited cultivar named Charlie’s Golden.  I also have some red-fruited cultivars, too. This Fruiting Bush is also called the Autumnberry.
