Diosma Sunset Gold Plants

The Diosma Sunset Gold, also known as Breath of Heaven, is a beautiful compact evergreen shrub prized for its fine, needle-like aromatic foliage that glows with warm golden-yellow tones, particularly during the cooler months.

Originally from South Africa, this hardy shrub is well suited to UK gardens and thrives in sheltered borders, containers, rockeries and coastal gardens. Its compact, bushy habit and aromatic foliage make it a versatile choice for year-round garden interest.
