Common Name: Old Gold Juniper
Juniperus chinensis ‘Old Gold’ — commonly called Old Gold juniper — is an evergreen shrub valued for its rich golden-yellow foliage that holds color well throughout the growing season without significant bronzing in winter. Its dense branching and broad spreading habit create a low, layered mound that provides strong year-round color and texture in the landscape.

Golden foliage provides dependable contrast with darker green shrubs and conifers. Care: Plant in full sun for strongest foliage color. Avoid wet soils. Minimal pruning is needed; trim lightly in early spring only if shaping is desired.
