Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age

The Proven Winners® Good Vibrations® Gold Juniper Bush PP#22,743 (Juniperus horizontalis 'Hegedus') is a low-growing Juniper with remarkable changing colors. This delightful Juniper is soft to the touch and changes colors with the seasons. In the spring your Juniper's color emerges as a greenish-yellow that transitions to gold-green for the summer months.
Autumn brings an orange-purple hue to your Juniper's dramatic foliage, providing additional color and definition to the winter landscape! Your Good Vibrations® golden Juniper will stay shorter, but its horizontal branching gracefully arches out to about 11 feet. It's a terrific ground cover with a variety of uses for both the manicured yard and naturalized areas as well.
Hardy throughout a wide range of USDA planting zones 4 to 9, Good Vibrations® Gold grows 1-2 feet tall but can spread very wide! Filling large areas with greenery fast! The elegant arching branches seem to tumble and cascade across the ground beautifully!
Landscape Application:
Its low-growing nature would make a perfect border plant for your perennial bed, foundation hedge, and facer shrub before an older evergreen screen. But the amazingly wide spread of this creeping Juniper makes it most widely grown as a terrific ground cover!
Easy and fast mass plantings to cover ground, stabilize soil, slow erosion, and fill even the trickiest location with year-round greenery! Let these arching branches of Good Vibrations® Gold spill over the tops of your retaining walls, tumble over stones in a rock garden, or transform a dangerous-to-mow hillside into a verdant landscape feature with ease!
- Greenish-Yellow New Growth In Spring
- Golden-Green Color All Growing Season
- Unique Orange-Purple Fall and Winter Color!
- Upturned Tousled Branching Is Soft To The Touch!
