Product Description

Juniperus chinensis Gold Lace, commonly known as Gold Lace Juniper, is a compact, evergreen shrub prized for its bright golden-yellow foliage that provides year-round color and texture. This slow-growing conifer typically reaches 3 to 5 feet tall and 4 to 6 feet wide, forming a spreading, mounded habit. Its finely textured needles emerge vivid gold in spring and retain their color well throughout the year, especially with good sun exposure. Drought-tolerant once established and resistant to deer and most pests, Juniperus chinensis Gold Lace is a versatile addition to borders, slopes, and foundation plantings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best growing conditions for Gold Lace Juniper?

Gold Lace Juniper thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained soil. It is highly tolerant of heat, drought, poor soil, and urban conditions, making it ideal for low-maintenance gardens, slopes, and mass plantings. Avoid wet or poorly draining sites to prevent root rot.

How large does Gold Lace Juniper grow?

Gold Lace Juniper typically grows to about 3–4 feet tall and 5–6 feet wide, forming a low, spreading mound. It has a naturally compact, slightly layered form that works well in foundation plantings, borders, and as a bright accent in conifer gardens.

What does the foliage of Gold Lace Juniper look like?

Gold Lace Juniper features finely textured, bright golden-yellow foliage on the tips, maturing to green inside the plant. This creates a striking two-tone effect, especially when planted against darker evergreens or hardscape elements.

Is Gold Lace Juniper deer-resistant?

Yes, like other junipers, Gold Lace is considered deer-resistant. Its aromatic, prickly foliage typically deters deer and rabbits, making it a dependable option for landscapes affected by browsing.

Does Gold Lace Juniper require pruning?

Gold Lace Juniper is very low-maintenance and rarely needs pruning. If shaping is desired, light trimming can be done in early spring before new growth begins. Avoid cutting into old wood, as it may not regenerate well.
