The Juniper 'Gold Cone' is an excellent, low-maintenance choice for beginner gardeners. This evergreen conifer has a tight, dense, and upright form, making it perfect for small spaces or containers. Its foliage is a beautiful, bright gold color, especially when new in the spring, and it maintains this color well throughout the hot summer and cold winter. It is slow-growing, only adding about 3-4 inches per year, loves full sun, is easy to grow, and is also drought tolerant. At maturity, the plant measures about 6-7 ft. tall and 2-3 ft. wide.
