Planting & Care Instructions
Low-maintenance plants are worth their weight in gold! Add a generous sprinkle of actual gold color to their foliage. You're looking at a real treasure! Today's landscapes ask a lot of their plantings. We've watched a lot of design shows on television, after all.
Get year-round interest, depth of color, and a unique form with durable Daub's Frosted Juniper (Juniperus chinensis 'Daub's Frosted'), featuring a mix of exciting hues, with blue greens displayed on older growth. Watch for electric yellows and oranges on the new sprays of scale-like foliage!
This is no monotone, one-note groundcover, Daub's Frosted Juniper makes the most of the distinctive, wind-tossed form! Wild layers of undulating branches catch and lift the breezes. But this compact variety never gets overgrown or goes out of bounds.
Growing just 12-18 inches tall at maturity but spreading 4-5 feet wide, creating an easy-care sea of golden greenery! Hardy throughout a wide range of USDA planting zones 4 to 9, Junipers are incredibly rugged and low-maintenance evergreens!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Give this plant all day full sun. It needs six hours of sunlight for the best color. Likewise, Juniper needs well-drained soil that quickly disperses water from rainfall. If you have marshy ground, bring in additional soil to create an elevated planting.
Pay attention to watering the first season. Apply a medium amount of water on a regular basis, if you don't receive adequate rainfall. After Daub's Frosted Juniper is established, it becomes waterwise. However, we advise that you protect your investment with water during long periods of drought.
If you want to shorten the growth of edging plants, prune them in early spring. Shape them by lifting up the end of a branch. Snip it back at a 45-degree angle above a bud. This technique won't negatively affect the showy form of these desirable plants.
Even though deer don't prefer the taste or texture of Juniper, you'll want to spray repellent on planting day. If you live with deer in your area, you need to train them to leave your plants alone. Reapply as directed by the label.
