Juniperus chinensis 'Old Gold'
Juniperus chinensis 'Old Gold' is a highly prized ornamental shrubby juniper, cherished for its bright golden foliage and elegantly structured spreading habit. This variety is distinguished by its flexible, arching branches, displaying an intense golden yellow color in spring that mellows to a warm yellowish-green as the season progresses. Its overall habit is spreading, dense, and wider than it is tall, forming a harmonious shrub ideal for mass plantings, embankments, low solitary plantings, and contrasting landscape compositions. The evergreen foliage maintains a beautiful brightness all year round, providing constant visual interest even in winter. Very hardy, drought-tolerant once established, and undemanding regarding soil type, 'Old Gold' is perfectly suited for northern gardens and sustainable designs seeking long-term color, structure, and reliability.
