Juniperus x media Honey Drop

Common Name: Honey Drop Juniper

Description:
Juniperus × media 'Honey Drop' is a striking evergreen conifer with a spreading, mounding habit and soft, golden-yellow foliage that contrasts beautifully with its mature green-blue tones. This hardy, low-maintenance shrub adds year-round colour and texture to garden beds, rockeries, and borders. ‘Honey Drop’ thrives in well-drained soils and prefers full sun for the most vibrant foliage, though it can tolerate part shade. Highly drought-tolerant and resistant to pests and diseases, it is well-suited to Melbourne’s climate, making it an excellent choice for both formal and informal landscapes.
