Juniperus chinensis 'Gold Star'
Juniperus chinensis 'Gold Star' is a very decorative ornamental shrubby juniper, recognized for its luminous golden foliage and naturally structured spreading habit. This variety stands out for its star-shaped branches, mixing light green and intense golden yellow tones, particularly vibrant in full sun. Its overall habit is spreading, dense, and wider than it is tall, forming a low, graphic shrub ideal for mass plantings, slopes, rockeries, and low-height specimen plantings. The evergreen foliage maintains its golden color throughout the year, offering constant visual interest even in winter. Very hardy, drought-tolerant once established, and undemanding regarding soil type, 'Gold Star' is perfectly suited for Nordic gardens and sustainable landscaping looking for color, contrast, and long-term reliability.
