This compact evergreen shrub is characterized by its dense, spherical form and vibrant golden foliage. Reaching a mature size of approximately 3-4 feet in both height and width, it is a popular choice for adding structure and color to landscapes. The plant’s scale-like leaves maintain their golden hue throughout the growing season, providing year-round visual interest.
Its manageable size and attractive appearance make it a versatile option for various landscaping applications. The plant’s adaptability to different soil types and its relatively low maintenance requirements contribute to its appeal. Furthermore, the plant’s resistance to deer browsing makes it a practical choice for gardens in areas with high deer populations. Historically, plants of this type have been favored for their formal, architectural qualities in garden design.
