Gold Strike Creeping Juniper

The Gold Strike Creeping Juniper (Juniperus horizontalis 'Gold Strike') is a resilient and eye-catching evergreen groundcover prized for its striking foliage and low-maintenance nature. This cultivar features vibrant golden-yellow foliage that brightens up the landscape year-round, particularly in sunny locations where its color can intensify. With its creeping, spreading habit, it forms a dense mat that effectively suppresses weeds and erosion, making it an ideal choice for slopes, banks, or rocky terrain. Growing to a height of around 6 inches with a spread of 4-6 feet, it provides excellent coverage and serves as an attractive contrast when planted alongside darker foliage or flowering plants. Thriving in well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade, the Gold Strike Creeping Juniper is drought-tolerant once established and requires minimal pruning to maintain its shape. Whether used as a groundcover, edging plant, or accent in rock gardens, this juniper adds a splash of color and texture to any landscape design.
