Daub’s Frosted Juniper (Juniperus chinensis ‘Daub’s Frosted’) delivers a striking, two‑toned display as golden new growth “frosts” its soft blue‑green interior foliage. This vigorous, low, spreading conifer quickly forms a dense, evergreen carpet that brightens slopes, rock gardens, and tough, sun‑baked sites. Highly adaptable and easy to grow in well‑drained soils, it shrugs off heat, mild drought, deer, and urban conditions—making it a go‑to, low‑maintenance solution for four‑season color and erosion control in challenging spots.
Low, spreading evergreen juniper with golden‑yellow new growth over blue‑green mature foliage; forms a dense, ground‑hugging mat with softly pendulous branch tips.
Two‑toned effect: fresh growth emerges golden and ages to blue‑green, creating a frosted look across the plant for multi‑season interest.
Full sun (6+ hours) for best color and density; tolerates reflected heat in open exposures.
Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish roots; thereafter, water sparingly—avoid chronically wet soils.
Highly adaptable in well‑drained soils (including poor, sandy, or rocky); intolerant of standing water. A light spring feeding supports fresh color.
Fast spreading; typically to ~15 inches tall and up to ~5 feet wide at maturity.
Deer and rabbit resistant; drought tolerant once established; effective for erosion control; tolerates urban and coastal conditions.
Excellent evergreen groundcover for hot, dry banks; bright edging for borders and paths; mass plantings, rock gardens, and cascading over walls.
Plant in full sun with sharp drainage. Water regularly the first season, then reduce frequency. Prune lightly, if needed, after new growth flush to maintain spread (trim only current season’s growth).
