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
