Golden Pacific Shore Juniper (Juniperus conferta 'Golden Pacific')

Golden Pacific Shore Juniper (Juniperus conferta 'Golden Pacific') is a vibrant, low-growing evergreen groundcover known for its spreading habit and glowing golden-yellow foliage. This colorful cultivar offers year-round interest, thriving in full sun and poor soils while adding warm tones and texture to slopes, coastal gardens, and expansive beds.

Distinctive Features

'Golden Pacific' forms a soft, trailing mat that reaches 12 to 18 inches tall and spreads 5 to 6 feet wide. Its needle-like foliage emerges bright yellow in spring and deepens to golden-green in summer, with cooler weather bringing occasional orange-bronze tints. The plant�s dense growth habit suppresses weeds and holds soil, while the vibrant color sets it apart from traditional green groundcovers.
