Golden Pacific Juniper

Golden Pacific Juniper is a low, spreading evergreen groundcover with bright golden-yellow foliage that develops its best color in full sun. Its trailing branches cover slopes, soften walls, and create year-round contrast along sunny borders. Once established, this shore juniper handles heat, drought, and coastal conditions well, making it a tough choice for Southern landscapes. Available for local pickup from Towns Edge Nursery.
