Conifères à feuillage doré

Our golden conifers. Conifers with golden or yellow foliage bring brightness and light to the garden. Among the must-haves are Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Filifera Aurea', the 'Goldcrest' cypress, or Picea abies 'Aurea'. Chamaecyparis, with its golden filamentous foliage, combines texture and colour, while the Picea abies 'Aurea' is captivating with its intense golden appearance, especially in spring. Let's also mention the 'Old Gold' Juniperus x media, ideal for rockeries and borders. Or the 'Semperaurea' Taxus baccata, a yew with golden yellow foliage all year round; it is a medium-sized conifer, cold-resistant and easy to maintain. The 'Sekkan-sugi' Cryptomeria japonica is appreciated for its graceful habit and luminous foliage, decorative in winter, and the 'Rheingold' Thuja occidentalis shines with its golden shoots in summer and coppery ones in winter. For enthusiasts of rarer varieties, the 'Limeglow' Juniperus horizontalis, forming a low tuft, dresses in changing colours throughout the seasons, with young lemon-green shoots, golden foliage in summer, and bronze-purple in winter. To illuminate a rockery, for example, choose the 'Butterball' Chamaecyparis obtusa, a very compact Japanese hinoki cypress, remarkable for its globular habit, irresistible with the tousled look of its yellow-green foliage.

Golden conifers generally prefer well-drained soil and a sunny to semi-shaded exposure. Resistant and adaptable, they require little maintenance once established. Discover them in this selection.
