Common Juniper 'Gold Cone', Juniper 'Gold Cone'
Juniperus communis ‘Gold Cone’ (Common Juniper) is an upright, narrow, columnar, evergreen shrub forming a splendid exclamation point in the landscape. Emerging bright gold in spring, the foliage of tightly packed needles retains its warm color in summer and fall, before changing to blue-green in winter. Slow-growing, this upright Juniper makes a wonderful specimen plant and is an excellent addition to the mixed border. Its pleasing and not-too-bright gold color lends itself to inspired plantings. Equally ideal for providing year-round structure in seasonal containers.
Juniperus belongs to the Cupressaceae family, which includes popular evergreen trees such as Juniperus virginiana (Eastern Red Cedar), Thuja occidentalis (Northern White Cedar), Cupressus sempervirens (Italian Cypress), Sequoia sempervirens (Coast Redwood), and Cupressus arizonica (Arizona Cypress).
