Juniperus horizontalis 'Golden Carpet' is a low-growing evergreen juniper valued for its vivid golden foliage and ground-hugging habit. The dense, spreading growth forms a bright, carpet-like cover that provides year-round structure, with particularly strong colour during the growing season. In winter, the foliage commonly takes on warmer bronze tones, adding seasonal interest. Exceptionally tough, drought-tolerant once established, and fully hardy, this juniper is an excellent choice for low-maintenance planting on slopes, borders, and difficult sites.
