Water Saving Tip:

Even though it's hot, your lawn only needs to be watered twice a week to stay healthy.

And don't water the whole lawn for a brown spot—drag out a hose.

  • Description

  • Notes

'Gold Standard' has light green leaves with a dark edge. Leaves mature to more gold with a green edge as season progresses. Lavender flowers early to mid summer. Its horizontal habit makes this a good choice for mass plantings. Grows about 20 inches tall and wide (or wider) and with bloom is 30 inches tall. Providing some sun will result in the best coloration, though avoid mid-day.
