‘Gold Mound’ is, as the cultivar name suggests, noted for its attractive golden foliage. Leaves emerge golden in spring, but gradually fade to a gold-green as the summer progresses. Fall color may include interesting yellows, oranges and reds. This is a compact mounded cultivar that grows to 42″ tall and to 48″ wide. Pink flowers in flattened clusters (to 3″ across) appear in late spring. (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Garden Plant Finder)
