Description
Chiastophyllum oppositifolium 'Variegatum', also known as Variegated Gold Drop, is a fleshy, spreading, evergreen perennial succulent plant with beautiful bluish-green foliage broadly edged with cream. In late spring and summer it is adorned with trailing clusters of small yellow flowers. It is native to the mountains of the Caucasus, thriving in shade and coolness, which is not apparent from its succulent foliage. This very bright plant is valuable for cool and shaded rock gardens.
Chiastophyllum oppositifolium belongs to the Crassulaceae family. It is native to mountainous areas located in the western Caucasus. Its natural habitat is cool rock crevices. 'Variegatum' is a cultivar selected for its variegated foliage. This plant grows as ground cover, reaching a height of 15 to 20 centimeters (6 to 8 inches), with indefinite spreading. Flowering occurs in June, with five-petaled yellow flowers arranged in initially erect, then trailing clusters, resembling those of lily of the valley. Its leaves are evergreen, fleshy, round, coarsely dentate, with a beautiful bluish-green colour surrounded by a wide cream band, with the lower leaves tinged with rust. The plant develops from a rhizome.
Plant Variegated Gold Drop in a partially shaded rock garden, alongside saxifrages (Saxifraga stolonifera), Ramonda, Lewisia, and bergenias, under a bench, near a waterfall, in cracks of walls and retaining walls where it will subtly illuminate. It also makes a good ground cover.

Planting and care
Plant Chiastophyllum oppositifolium 'Variegatum' in shade to partial shade, in soil that remains moist to wet. Ideally the substrate should be loamy-sandy or clay-sandy, rich in humus, with a pH range between 8 and 10. It is therefore a good plant for limestone and well-drained soils. It can tolerate temperatures as low as -18°C (1°F). Plant several at once, with a spacing of 25 centimeters (10 inches), in groups of 5 to 10 young plants.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
