Growing Hearts of Gold

Plant it in part sun. It prefers moderate water. It is hardy in USDA zones 5–9. Expect it to reach about 20 ft tall and 20 ft wide at maturity, in roughly 10 years.

When to plant Hearts of Gold

Plant Hearts of Gold in early spring as soon as the soil is workable, or in early fall at least six weeks before your first frost, so roots establish in cool weather. For the middle of its hardy zones 5 to 9 range, spring means March to May and fall means September or October. Once settled, it blooms in April.

Month-by-month timing for your zone is on the planting calendar: for the middle of its range, start with zone 7 in March.
