Description
Juniperus horizontalis ‘Limeglow’ makes a compact, creeping evergreen mound with feathery lime-green to lemon-yellow foliage. Its vivid color and slow spreading growth suit sunny borders, rock gardens, foundations, and low ground cover.
Grow it in well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. Established plants tolerate drought, deer, urban conditions, and some salt, while the foliage shifts through orange to burnished gold and bronze in colder weather.
