Old Gold Juniper

The Old Gold Juniper is a tough and reliable spreading evergreen, growing 2 or 3 feet tall and about 5 feet wide within 10 years. Older plants can be significantly wider, and a foot or two taller. The spring shoots are bright yellow, turning bronzy gold in summer, and holding that color well through winter. Always bright and attractive, this tough plant will grow almost anywhere, under harsh conditions, and it is perfect for covering slopes and rocky ground, planting beside paths and driveways, and for filling spaces in beds.
