Juniperus × pfitzeriana ‘Old Gold’ is a compact, evergreen shrub prized for its graceful, spreading habit and rich bronze-gold foliage that provides year-round colour. New growth emerges with bright golden tones at the tips, creating a warm, luminous effect that stands out in the landscape. Its soft, scale-like foliage and low, arching form make it an excellent choice for ground cover, rock gardens, foundation plantings, or low hedges. Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established, this hardy variety thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, adapting well to a variety of conditions while resisting deer. A recipient of the RHS Award of Garden Merit, ‘Old Gold’ offers reliable performance, structure, and vibrant colour in both residential and urban garden settings.

Conifers

🌱 Conifer Care Guide Conifers provide year-round structure, colour, and texture to the landscape, making them a reliable foundation in garden design.

For best results, plant in well-draining soil and enrich with compost or peat moss to support strong root development and healthy foliage. Choose varieties suited to your space and light conditions, and water regularly while plants establish. With proper care, conifers maintain their shape and colour, contributing lasting visual interest in the garden.

Spring
  • Plant evergreens once the ground has thawed and planting conditions are workable.
  • If transplanting into a garden bed or changing soil, mix in compost to support root establishment.
  • Water thoroughly after planting to settle soil around the roots.
  • Begin fertilizing with a slow-release or balanced fertilizer as new growth appears.

Summer
  • June–August, water regularly during establishment and extended dry periods.
  • Monitor for signs of stress during heat or drought.
  • Prune lightly if needed to maintain shape or remove damaged growth.
  • Fertilize only if planted in new or amended soil to encourage steady growth.

Fall
  • September–October, continue deep watering until the ground begins to cool.
  • Stop fertilizing to allow plants to harden off before winter.
  • Avoid heavy pruning, removing only dead or broken branches.
  • Mulch the base to help insulate roots and retain moisture.

Winter
  • November–March, evergreens remain dormant but retain foliage.
  • Water during mild periods if soil is dry and unfrozen.
  • Protect from heavy snow or wind damage when necessary.
