Worcester Gold is another variety of bluebeard. This one has bright yellow-green leaves. They are narrow, aromatic and silvery-green beneath. Flowers are formed in small panicles and their deep blue colour looks like sky before a storm. They attract butterflies and bumble-bees.
The plants grows into a low, prostrate, woody shrub. It is quite soil tolerant, however, it does best in fertile, very well-drained soil in full sun. In the spring cut back previous year’s growth to maximum one fourth to encourage strong, new branches that will form an even denser and more abundantly flowering shrub. Fully hardy to about -24°C (USDA zone 6)
