Description
If you like the ‘Blue Pacific’ Juniper, you’re gonna love its new sibling ‘Golden Pacific’, which is basically the same plant but with screaming yellow foliage. Its bright yellow needles appear in groups of three along the trailing branches forming a dense, erosion controlling shaggy carpet wherever it grows. The stunning color and texture of Golden Pacific make it a fine selection as a groundcover or spiller over walls and boulders and near or around plants and trees with dark green, purple, blue or red foliage. Foliage color is more intense with more sun.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 8 to 10 inches tall and spreading relatively quickly to 6 feet wide or more, the Golden Pacific Juniper is ideal for use in groupings or mass plantings for erosion control on sunny embankments, hillsides and slopes or as a colorful border in landscape beds and home foundation plantings. It also spills over walls and is a great choice to underplant small trees such as Japanese Maples and Crape Myrtles. Golden Pacific provides wonderful color and texture contrast when planted among darker leaf plants and trees. a fine addition to conifer gardens, yellow theme gardens and the Xeriscape (low water needs).
Suggested Spacing: 3 to 4 feet apart for mass plantings; 10 feet or more for space between plants

Growing Preferences
Golden Pacific Juniper is exceptionally easy to grow in a moist but well-drained soil and full sun to a little light shade. Foliage color is more intense with more sun. Too much shade results in diminished foliage density and color. Plants are exceptionally drought tolerant when established. Constantly soggy or wet soil can cause root rot or other harmful plant diseases. Very low-maintenance requiring little to no pruning.
