Once established, it thrives in lean, well-drained soil and tolerates dry conditions particularly well, while its flowers provide an early-season food source for bees and other pollinating insects. RHS recognises 'Mountain Gold' as a synonym of 'Berggold' and describes it as an evergreen, prostrate perennial reaching around 15 cm.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n  \u003cdiv style=\"font-size:22px;text-align:center;font-weight:normal;margin:34px 0 10px;\"\u003e\n    Why You'll Love It\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv style=\"width:80px;height:4px;background:#7FBF3F;border-radius:999px;margin:0 auto 22px;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv style=\"font-size:18px;\"\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin:3px 0;\"\u003e● Masses of bright golden-yellow spring flowers\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin:3px 0;\"\u003e● Very compact, spreading habit only around 15 cm tall\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin:3px 0;\"\u003e● Evergreen grey-green foliage provides year-round structure\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin:3px 0;\"\u003e● Excellent choice for dry, sunny and poor-soil positions\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin:3px 0;\"\u003e● Valuable early-season flowers for bees and other pollinators\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n  \u003cdiv style=\"font-size:22px;text-align:center;font-weight:normal;margin:34px 0 10px;\"\u003e\n    Ideal For\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv style=\"width:80px;height:4px;background:#7FBF3F;border-radius:999px;margin:0 auto 22px;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv style=\"font-size:18px;\"\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin:3px 0;\"\u003e● Rock and alpine gardens\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin:3px 0;\"\u003e● Gravel gardens\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin:3px 0;\"\u003e● Dry stone walls\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin:3px 0;\"\u003e● Path and border edging\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin:3px 0;\"\u003e● Ground cover in sunny positions\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n  \u003cdiv style=\"font-size:22px;text-align:center;font-weight:normal;margin:34px 0 10px;\"\u003e\n    How to Sow \u0026amp;
