Description
Juniper Gold Cone is a stunning, upright evergreen that adds a fresh splash of golden color to the landscape. Its narrow, columnar form and brilliant yellow-green foliage create a bold vertical accent that remains vibrant throughout the year. As temperatures cool, its golden hues take on a subtle bronze tint, adding seasonal interest. This beautifully structured conifer is a fantastic choice for adding height to mixed borders, rock landscapes, or as a striking focal point in smaller spaces. Its tidy growth habit and year-round appeal make it a sophisticated and satisfying addition to any design.
