Common Name: Daub's Frosted Chinese Juniper

Juniperus chinensis ‘Daub’s Frosted’ — commonly called Daub’s Frosted juniper — is an evergreen shrub valued for its dense, spreading habit and bright gold-tipped blue-green foliage that creates a frosted appearance, especially on new growth. In cooler weather, the foliage often develops bronze tones, adding seasonal color variation while maintaining strong evergreen texture.
