Juniperus rigida subsp. conferta 'All Gold', Shore Juniper 'All Gold', Juniperus conferta 'All Gold', Evergreen Shrub, Dwarf evergreen shrub, Yellow shrub

Glowing in all seasons, Juniperus rigida subsp. conferta ‘All Gold’ (Shore Juniper) is a spreading, prostrate, evergreen shrub prized for its brilliant, needle-like, golden-yellow foliage, turning orange-pink in winter. The foliage is particularly bright and sparkling in the spring. While low and trailing, it features a light, airy habit in comparison to other ground-hugging junipers and its branches are fairly soft and flexible. Use this cultivar wherever a golden ground covering conifer is desired. Excellent choice for use along retaining walls, or anywhere it can be allowed to cascade down over the edges. Heat and sun tolerant.

  • Winner of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society for its noteworthy qualities
  • Grows up to 6 in. tall (15 cm) and eventually spreads to 6-8 ft. (180-240 cm).
  • A full sun lover, this plant is easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils. Tolerates a wide range of soils including poor soils, dry soils, and sandy soils. Intolerant of wet soils. Drought tolerant once established.
  • Perfect as a specimen shrub, foundation plant, for the rock gardens, or massed to form a bushy groundcover.
  • Low maintenance, no pruning required, but you may prune the stems selectively to control spread.
  • Propagate by semi-hardwood cuttings
  • Native to Japan
