Gold Splash® Wintercreeper has attractive gold-variegated green foliage which emerges gold in spring on a plant with a spreading habit of growth. The glossy oval leaves are highly ornamental and remain green throughout the winter. It produces yellow capsules from mid to late fall.

Gold Splash® Wintercreeper will grow to be about 24 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 12 feet. It tends to fill out right to the ground and therefore doesn't necessarily require facer plants in front. It grows at a fast rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 30 years.

This shrub performs well in both full sun and full shade. It is very adaptable to both dry and moist locations, and should do just fine under typical garden conditions. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments, and will benefit from being planted in a relatively sheltered location. This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America.
