Juniperus x media 'Old Gold'
Choose Old Gold Juniper for open, dry-prone slopes, banks, and foundation beds where gold evergreen color matters. The tradeoff: it spreads wider than it looks at planting, so don’t squeeze it into a narrow strip.
Buy This If
- You want gold evergreen foliage.
- You need a spreading shrub.
- Deer browse is a concern.
Skip This If
- The bed stays wet.
- You need a narrow plant.
- You want flowers or berries.
PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | The gold foliage gives strong contrast, especially against stone, mulch, and darker evergreens. |
| Growth Rate | B | It fills in at a manageable pace without becoming a fast, rangy shrub. |
| Maintenance | A- | Once placed with enough room, it needs little pruning beyond removing awkward tips. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer usually pass this by, since the foliage deters browsing, though no plant is completely immune where pressure is severe. |
| Small Space Fit | C+ | It stays low but spreads, so it is not the best fit for narrow beds. |
| Screening Value | D | This is a low spreading shrub, not a privacy or screening plant. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we’d typically recommend Old Gold Juniper for open beds where color and deer resistance matter more than flowers. Give it room from walks, steps, and lawn edges.

Customers Usually Ask
Does it stay gold?
Yes, but the best color comes with strong light.
Can I shear it tight?
Light shaping is fine, but heavy shearing makes junipers look unnatural.
Is it good near a driveway?
Yes, if the bed drains well and it has room to spread.
