Juniperus conferta 'All Gold'

All Gold Shore Juniper

Evergreen Conifer, Groundcover, Shrub

An easy-care, drought-tolerant groundcover for full sun. The golden foliage provides a nice spot of color and harmonizes exceptionally well with green, blue, and gray foliage. As a mature plant, it can get quite large but seems to be relatively slow-growing. Because of that, I've been able to use it to cascade out of containers for an easy, all-season evergreen foliage accent.
