'Eureka Gold' is a vibrant cultivar of the ultra-tough native Texas Yaupon. It is exceptionally well-suited for the Houston metro area, as it thrives in our high humidity and intense summer sun. While it can tolerate a wide variety of soils, including heavy clay, it will display the most brilliant golden-yellow color when planted in well-drained locations with plenty of sunlight. It is a slow-growing, low-maintenance choice that provides excellent contrast against dark green landscapes.
