Notes
'Gold Cone' common juniper (Juniperus communis 'Gold Cone') is a shrub for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to moist soil of most types. This columnar evergreen grows 36 to 60 inches tall at a moderate pace. It sits low on the menu for deer. Once it settles in, it tolerates drought, so you can skip frequent care.
Pairs well with Feather reed grass, Tarragon, and Briar rose.
