            Aurinia saxatilis (Basket of Gold,Goldentuft alyssum, Golden Alyssum,Gold-dust, Golden-tuft alyssum, Golden-tuft madwort, Rock madwort; syn. Alyssum saxatile L., Alyssum saxatile L. var. compactum Hort. is an ornamental plant native to Asia and Europe.This is a little, rounded, evergreen perennial that can grow from 4 to 12in high, performing a mound up to 16-20in across. the plants flowers are clear yellow, but the various cultivars produce flowers in white, cream, lemon or reach gold. Since its natural habitat is rocky, mountainous country, it is ideal for a rock garden, for dry, sloping ground, or for edging garden beds, provided the drainage is excellent. It is also ideally suited for troughs and the edges of large pots, perhaps containing a shrub. Although golden dust is a perennial, some gardeners grow is as part of an annual spring display.
