‘Viette’s Little Suzy’ is unique for its dwarf compact habit and cheerful golden-yellow petaled, deep brown centered flowers which open over a period of time rather than all at once–giving it a more open and varied floral appearance versus other cultivars that go into flower all at once. This is a plant that has great usefulness and can be planted ffectively enmasse as a general cover, as a border edging, for accent, and as a comfortable companion to dozens of other ground covers.
