Gold Lace Juniper
Gold Lace Juniper (Juniperus x pfitzeriana ‘Gold Lace’) is a vibrant, low-maintenance evergreen shrub that brings year-round color to your landscape. Known for its striking golden-yellow foliage, this juniper variety is perfect for adding contrast and texture to gardens. As the new growth emerges in a brilliant golden hue, it eventually matures into a softer yellow-green, offering a dynamic and ever-changing visual appeal throughout the seasons. Gold Lace Juniper thrives in full sun and is drought-tolerant once established, making it a hardy choice for low-water landscapes or xeriscapes.
This versatile juniper has a spreading growth habit, reaching 3-4 feet tall and 4-6 feet wide. Its dense, feathery branches create a lush ground cover that can be used as an accent plant, foundation shrub, or as part of a mass planting for erosion control on slopes. The Gold Lace Juniper is also deer-resistant and can withstand various soil conditions, making it ideal for novice and experienced gardeners looking for an attractive, easy-care solution.
For best results, plant Gold Lace Juniper in well-drained soil and provide regular watering during its first year of establishment. Its bright foliage remains vibrant throughout the year, ensuring your garden stays colorful even in winter. This juniper adds a warm and welcoming touch to any landscape design, whether used in rock gardens, borders, or mixed shrub plantings.
