The Gold Coast® Juniper is a spreading evergreen that grows 2 or 3 feet tall, spreading 5 or 6 feet wide within 10 years. It will grow larger in time, but never become a huge spreading plant like many junipers do. It has beautiful golden yellow foliage that turns to darker gold through summer, lasts all winter, and never turns green at all. It soon develops an attractive mounding form with weeping tips and lacy foliage. It is perfect as a groundcover for the foreground of garden beds, along driveways, on banks and slopes, and in rocky areas.
- Beautiful year-round golden yellow foliage
- Compact, low spreading evergreen
- Attractive lacy foliage
- Grows well in cold regions
- Resistant to heat and drought
A place in full sun is perfect for the Gold Coast® Juniper, which thrives in hot and dry locations. It is very cold-hardy as well. It grows in any well-drained soil, including shallow, rocky soils, and heavy clay on sloping ground. It is normally free of pests or diseases, ignored by deer and rabbits, and it doesn’t need trimming to stay compact and attractive.
