Bring vibrant year-round color and easy-care beauty to your landscape with the Old Gold Juniper, a popular evergreen shrub known for its striking golden foliage and low-maintenance nature. This compact, spreading conifer features soft, scale-like needles that emerge bright golden-yellow in spring, maturing to a rich, warm gold that holds its color throughout the seasons—even in winter. Old Gold Juniper grows in a graceful, arching form, reaching 2–3 feet tall and spreading 4–5 feet wide, making it ideal for foundation plantings, borders, slopes, and rock gardens. Its vibrant foliage adds excellent contrast to green shrubs and flowering perennials, while its dense growth habit helps suppress weeds and control soil erosion.

Unique Plant Features:

Striking gold-tipped needles add vibrant, lasting color to any landscape, even through winter.
Drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and virtually pest-free—perfect for busy gardeners.
Hardy in USDA Zones 4–9, this drought-tolerant juniper thrives in full sun and well-drained soil.
It tolerates poor soils and requires little pruning, making it an excellent choice for busy gardeners or low-water landscapes.
Whether used as a groundcover, mass planting, or accent shrub, Old Gold Juniper delivers lasting color, structure, and texture with minimal upkeep.
