Description
Golden Carpet Juniper is a vigorous, spreading evergreen that forms a dense, low-growing mat of golden foliage. In spring, its bright yellow growth emerges, transitioning to a rich gold color that lasts through winter. This hardy groundcover is perfect for rock gardens, slopes, and borders in Massachusetts landscapes.
Its scale-like foliage adds fine texture and visual depth to the garden, while its adaptability to various soil conditions ensures easy maintenance. Golden Carpet Juniper produces ornamental blue berries from spring to winter, adding an extra layer of interest. It thrives in full sun, making it an excellent choice for year-round color.
