Gold lace juniper

8 years ago

I have been looking for gold lace juniper all year and can't find any. Even Monrovia isn't selling them. Does anybody know why? I already have three in my backyard from two years ago and they're great. I wanted three more but they just don't exist in nurseries this year.

Piggybacking on my own question, it seems that most instead have Saybrook Gold. How similar are they to Gold lace? I assume they're a little more gold from what I can tell, and maybe shorter.

Although not in a bouquet, I have often used juniper in arrangements set in wet floral foam and it has exceptional staying power. Diabolo Ninebark foliage is very nice in bouquets and will outlast any flowers. Specifically the new growth is nicest. No special treatment required for the stems.

compare juniper gold lace vs daubs frosted

For me, these two look very different. First, as far as when the new season yellow highlights come on, the Daub's Frosted is a concentrated bright yellow in the center that covers pretty much all the needle the entire new growth area versus on Gold Lace it appears to be more of a frosting gold accent across the tips of the needles. As for shape, the Daub's Frosted appears much more as layers of smaller fern-like clusters in a strictly horizontal and then pendulous hanging shape whereas on Gold Lace the branches appear to be single long branches coming out from the center in a more upward growth pattern that then go pendulous at the ends. In the summer heat Gold Lace does hang more flat, but in cooler weather and after getting a good drink of water, the branches almost go vertical from the center. So for me they look very different. Now on some of the other Junipers, like the Saybrook Gold you mentioned and Sea of Gold, now those and several others look very very similar to Gold Lace to me. Mark

Danielle, I'm so glad you want the Gold Lace Juniper and I've already got it potted up for you! It's pretty large (I didn't prune it before potting), but it's in a nice, 3-gallon-ish fiberglass/plastic(?) pot I had laying around so it's not heavy. I would love the Navajo Salvia and the trailing Veronica sounds great too. Thanks!

we live south of houston tx and often have groups of over 20 deer in our yard (almost daily) the most sure way to keep these guys from mowing down my roses and day lilies is to spray them with a product called liquid fence...i spray every couple of weeks if we have a lot of rain or maybe every month to 6 weeks if it's dry though i don't know if this is a totally organic product, we do have lots of birds and pollinators in our yard i spray in the evening because this product has a terrible odor, but within a couple of hours and definitely by morning, the odor will be gone i do have lots of plants that deer don't care much for and new trees which deer love and i spray those also and put wire cages around the bases to keep the deer from using their antler on them i've had more plants damaged in this way than by deer eating them....

That looks too short and gold to be a Gold Lace, in my option.

I prefer to get them at a local nursery since I won't have to get them small or pay high shipping costs. I'm surrounded by excellent nurseries that usually have everything and they are saying that they don't understand why the big places like Monrovia aren't sending them out either. Apparently a lot of people are asking for them but nobody has them around here. It's odd because they are usually pretty popular.

I ended up buying three 3 gallon plants from Gardener Direct. With shipping $150 total. But at least I have them now.

==>>> probably something along the lines of decisions made ... 5 to 7 years back ... and flooding the market with the same plant for too long ...

new plants.. new prices .. etc ...

i am not familiar with gardener direct.. i hope it works out for you ... looks like you hit the lotto on such .. unless of course... you did the same first .:
