Juniperus chinensis 'Gold Lace' (Chinese Juniper 'Gold Lace') is a spreading evergreen juniper prized for its fine, feathery texture and bright golden color. New growth is especially vivid, and the foliage often takes on warmer bronzy tones in winter, giving you year-round interest.
At maturity it typically forms a low, mounded, arching shrub about 36-48 inches tall and 60-72 inches wide. Give it room to spread, or use selective pruning to guide its outline in foundations, borders, and mass plantings.
Plant it in full sun to keep the foliage color at its best. It performs well in average, well-drained soils and is a solid choice where you want an evergreen that handles heat, wind, and urban conditions once established. Avoid consistently wet or poorly drained sites, and water regularly during the first growing season to help it root in.
Maintenance is simple: remove dead or damaged stems any time, and do shaping cuts in late winter or early spring. Because junipers do not reliably push new growth from old bare wood, trim lightly and keep some green foliage on stems you cut back.
