A cultivar profile is a plant reference. It does not mean a grower currently has that plant for sale.
Check the grower directoryAbout Sun Power
Sun Power has an open, upright outline rather than a tight, flat carpet of leaves. The registry describes light chartreuse foliage with strong waves at the margin. That shape gives a gold planting more movement than a smooth-leaved selection.
Its name is not a promise that it will thrive in any full-sun location. Choose light exposure using the actual climate, soil moisture and nursery advice for the supplied plant. Compare August Moon for a spreading mound or Dancing Queen for a pronounced rippled edge. The registered clump dimensions below describe one observed plant and should not be treated as a fixed maximum.
