Juniperus communis depressa aurea

Juniperus communis 'Depressa Aurea' is a common variety of juniper that brings year-round colour and texture. This evergreen shrub is known for its yellow, lacy foliage on the ends of new growth tips, which changes to gold, then to bronze in colour. Its vase-shaped arching branches also produce small, berry-like cones that can provide a source of food for birds and other wildlife.

Juniperus communis 'Depressa Aurea' is an excellent choice for ground cover, rock gardens, or cascading over walls. Its dense, feathery branches are adorned with needle-like leaves that turn a vibrant golden colour in the sun, providing a beautiful contrast to the green foliage of other plants.

This plant is very adaptable and thrives in a variety of conditions, from full sun to partial shade, and is tolerant of different soil types. It's also drought-tolerant once established, making it a great low-maintenance choice for gardeners.

Juniperus communis 'Depressa Aurea' is a low-growing plant that typically reaches a height of about 0.5 meters and can spread up to 1.5 meters.
