Juniperus x media Daubs Frosted

Common Name: Daub’s Frosted Juniper

Description:
Juniperus × media 'Daub’s Frosted' is a striking evergreen conifer with a low, spreading habit and beautifully contrasting foliage. Its new growth emerges in a soft golden-yellow hue before maturing into a rich blue-green, creating a frosted effect that adds year-round interest to gardens. This hardy, drought-tolerant shrub is perfect for rockeries, borders, slopes, and cascading over retaining walls. 'Daub’s Frosted' thrives in well-drained soils and prefers full sun to enhance its vibrant colour, though it can tolerate part shade. With its excellent resistance to pests and diseases, low-maintenance nature, and ability to suppress weeds, it is well-suited to Melbourne’s climate and an excellent choice for adding texture and contrast to any landscape.
