Good Vibrations® Gold Juniper

Good Vibrations® Gold is a low, spreading cultivar of the evergreen creeping juniper, Juniperus horizontalis 'Hegedus'. Its glowing gold foliage and orange-purple autumn tones bring color to sunny borders, slopes, and groundcover plantings. ## Foliage and form The [Proven Winners cultivar page](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/juniperus/good-vibrations-gold-juniperus-horizontalis) gives a height of 12–18 inches and a spread of 7–9 feet. It describes soft, non-prickly foliage that stays golden through the growing season and develops bronze tones in fall and winter. The low, spreading habit suits edging, mass plantings, rock gardens, and banks. The page lists USDA hardiness zones 4a–8b and identifies the selection as 'Hegedus', USPP 22,743 and Canadian 4,643; it does not establish a patent date or current legal status. ## Site and care Provide full sun and well-drained soil. The cultivar page describes this juniper as heat tolerant and deer resistant, and recommends it for dry, sunny locations. It is also presented as drought tolerant; evaluate water needs after establishment and according to local conditions. ## Maintenance Little pruning is needed. If shaping is desired, remove selected branches without cutting back into thick, woody stems, where recovery is slow.
