In this country, the gold paint is only partially hardy. If you have sown it outside and enjoyed its flowers, but it has been forgotten by autumn, it will probably not survive the winter. Without protection, the gold paint usually freezes.
However, anyone who protects him can call the gold paint his own for many years without having to sow it again every year or otherwise multiply it. There are biennial and perennial varieties on the market.
Two years you have to wait
Whoever sows the gold varnish and wants to admire its flowers, has to bring it through the winter at least once. The reason: In the first year, this shrub forms only one leaf rosette. Only in its second year does it blossom.
Which specimens are particularly endangered?
The one specimen are more susceptible to frost than the others. Here is a list of those who should better protect you in winter:

Gold varnish in the pot should - if you do not want to say goodbye to him - be wintered frost-free. Otherwise, his root ball freezes in the pot and he dies. You can, for example, overwinter the plant in a cold frame or a cold house. It is important that it is frost-free, light and cold.
In outdoor cultivation: cover
Gold leaf plants, which were planted in the bed or elsewhere in the field, should be protected during the winter not only against heavy frost in the root area, but also against frost and winter sun. This is to be considered
Tips
You should always plant varieties with filled flowers only in pots or pots and then overwinter them in the house frost-free!
