Juniperus x media Evergold

Common Name: Evergold Juniper

Description:
Juniperus × media 'Evergold' is a stunning, low-growing evergreen conifer with a spreading habit and distinctive golden-yellow foliage. The bright golden new growth contrasts beautifully with the mature green-blue needles, creating a striking two-toned effect year-round. Hardy and drought-tolerant, 'Evergold' is ideal for rockeries, borders, slopes, and cascading over retaining walls, adding vibrant colour and texture to the landscape. This variety thrives in well-drained soils and prefers full sun for the best colour intensity, though it can tolerate part shade. Resistant to pests and diseases, low-maintenance, and adaptable to Melbourne’s climate, 'Evergold' is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a durable and visually appealing ground cover.
