Juniperus Communis ‘Depressa Aurea’

Depressed Juniper ‘Aurea’

Low-growing evergreen conifer with a broad, spreading habit and slightly arching branches. It forms a dense, ground-hugging shrub with a wide, open structure, making it well suited for covering slopes and adding texture to naturalistic plantings.

The foliage is composed of short, sharp needles arranged in whorls, giving a fine but prickly texture. Its color is a golden-yellow to yellow-green, especially bright on new growth. This coloration is most vivid in full sun and may become greener in partial shade, while still maintaining a warm tone.

Juniperus communis ‘Depressa Aurea’ prefers full sun and well-drained soil, thriving in poor, sandy, or rocky conditions. It tolerates moderately dry to dry soils and is well adapted to harsh environments. Once established, it shows high drought tolerance, good resistance to pollution, and moderate tolerance to salt. It is ideal for slopes, rock gardens, and as a low-maintenance groundcover.
