Golden Joy Juniper

Golden Joy Juniper

Juniperus x pfitzeriana ‘Golden Joy’ is a new cultivar from Wiel Linnsen of Holland that offers improvements over other golden junipers. For one, its yellow is brighter than other available options and it maintains the brilliant color throughout the year. In addition, it is easy to grow and has a classic spreading and compact form. It grows more slowly, too, so it will stay beautiful and maintain a manageable size for years.

• Garden Size:  3’H x 6’W
• Dwarf:  3-6″/year
• Habit:  Spreading
• Hardiness:  Zone 4
• Exposure:  Full Sun
  

Many perennials and bonsai plants will have a ‘winter look’ that differs from how they look when actively growing.  Colder temperatures and short days alter the appearance of these plants as they go thru seasonal changes.  Some plants require this reboot to bloom and/or perform at their best during the growing season.  Plants may remain semi-dormant until early spring.  Rest assured that these cosmetic changes do not adversely affect the health of your plant.
