Chinese Juniper 'Sea of Gold' (Juniperus chinensis 'Sea of Gold')

Juniperus chinensis 'Sea of Gold' is a spreading, ornamental shrubby juniper, recognized for its very bright golden foliage and widely layered habit. This variety stands out for its marked horizontal growth, forming a low, dense shrub whose flexible branches create an undulating effect reminiscent of a golden sea. Its overall habit is significantly wider than it is tall, making it an excellent choice for flowerbeds, slopes, large rockeries, and low solitary plantings in full sun. The evergreen foliage maintains a strong golden-yellow color throughout the year, particularly intense on new growth. Very hardy, drought-tolerant once established, and undemanding regarding soil quality, 'Sea of Gold' is perfectly suited for sustainable landscaping and northern gardens seeking long-term color, contrast, and structure.
