For more information on the species see our listing of Asteriscus maritimus. This cultivar was created from self-pollination of Asteriscus maritimus in a controlled environment by Markus Schmulling in Germany in 1993. It received US Plant Patent PP11,999, which has since expired. We grew this cultivar plant from 2002 until 2008 but discontinued as it was no longer available from our supplier and since it held a US Plant Patent, we were not able to propagate it ourselves but continued to grow the older slightly less compact, but still low growing Asteriscus maritimus, which we had previously offered at the nursery since 1991. 

Information displayed on this page about Asteriscus maritimus 'Compact Gold Coin' is based on our research conducted about this plant in our nursery library as well as from information provided by reliable online resources. We also include our own observations made about it as it has grown in the nursery gardens and other gardens visited, as well how the crops of this plant performed in the containers in our nursery field. We will also include comments received from others and welcome hearing from anyone who has information about this plant, particularly if it includes cultural information aiding others to better grow it.
