Low-growing evergreen conifer with a compact, spreading habit and slightly arching branches. It forms a dense, mounded groundcover with a soft, flowing structure, offering both texture and bright color in landscape compositions.
The foliage is fine-textured, composed of small, scale-like leaves. Its distinctive color is a vibrant golden-yellow to lime green, especially bright on new growth. In cooler seasons, it develops attractive orange to bronze tones, adding strong seasonal interest. The color is most intense in full sun and may become greener in partial shade.
Juniperus horizontalis ‘Lime Glow’ prefers full sun and well-drained soil, thriving in poor, sandy, or rocky conditions. It tolerates moderately dry to dry soils and performs well in exposed sites. Once established, it shows high drought tolerance, strong resistance to urban pollution, and moderate tolerance to salt. It is ideal for rock gardens, slopes, and as a colorful groundcover or accent plant.
