Dwarf evergreen conifer · Cupressaceae · airy spreading vase form

Juniperus horizontalis Limeglow™ (‘NOSlg’)

Family: Cupressaceae · Pot diameter: 19cm · Height: 25cm

Electric chartreuse
Spreading vase form
About 0.6m high
Bronze in winter

Juniperus horizontalis Limeglow™ (‘NOSlg’) is a luminous conifer with an airy, spreading vase silhouette that seems to open towards the light. Its branches radiate from the centre and gently lift their tips, creating layered movement instead of a solid mass. A palette of electric chartreuse and lemon yellow illuminates dark foliage and grey stone, while the fine texture brings energy, depth and an elegantly free character to the composition.

At the front of a contemporary planting, above a low wall or within a broad container, its open form reads as a bright brushstroke. The lifted tips soften strict geometry and converse beautifully with plum foliage, blue tussocks and rugged mineral surfaces, giving the composition crisp rhythm and sculptural tension.

What makes it special

An airy, spreading vase form with radiating branches, lifted tips and a natural seasonal colour shift.

Luminous chartreuse

Young growth ranges from greenish yellow to lemon yellow while retaining a fine texture.

Vase-shaped movement

Branches radiate from the centre and lift their tips rather than lying completely flat.

Warm winter colour

Chartreuse turns orange, bronze or burnished gold in cold weather.

Why you will love it: it provides an unusual dose of luminous colour and sculptural movement without dominating the composition vertically.

Planting position

Colour in the front row

Plant it in a sunny foreground, in a rock garden, in a broad container or above a low wall, where the lifted tips can be seen. For group planting, space plants 1–1.2m apart, centre to centre, and provide prompt drainage.

Colour & compatibility

Chartreuse with plum

Electric yellow-green gains depth beside purple foliage, blue tussocks and pink flowers.

Berberis thunbergii ‘Atropurpurea Nana’ — low plum foliage defining the chartreuse perimeter.
Festuca glauca — fine blue tussocks sharing its preference for sun and freely drained soil.
Achillea ‘Moonshine’ — flat yellow flower heads above grey foliage in a drought-tolerant planting scheme.

Care at a glance

Light

Full sun gives the strongest chartreuse; light partial shade is tolerated but produces greener foliage.

Watering

Water regularly until established, then deeply and less often; never allow prolonged waterlogging.

Climate & hardiness

Very cold hardy at RHS H7 and USDA zone 3, and drought resistant once established.

Safety

Do not eat any part and wear gloves; the foliage may irritate sensitive skin.

Detailed careComplete care guideEight practical points: Position, Watering, Soil, Feeding, Pruning, Winter colour, Containers, Safety.

Position

Give abundant light and open space around the centre so lateral branches and lifted tips remain visible.

Watering

Water deeply during the first season and in prolonged summer drought, letting the surface dry between soakings.

Soil

Use any acidic, neutral or alkaline soil that stays moderately cool yet drains freely.

Feeding

Apply a light evergreen feed in spring only when growth is weak.

Pruning

Routine shearing is unnecessary; remove dead material and shorten only young green tips.

Winter colour

Orange and bronze tones are a natural seasonal phase; the foliage returns to chartreuse with fresh extension.

Containers

Choose a broad pot with free drainage and protect the root zone from persistent winter saturation.

Safety

Wear gloves, avoid contact with eyes and mouth, and keep clippings away from children and animals.

Development over timeHow the chartreuse vase form changesThree stages from bright spring extension through an airy summer form to bronze winter colour.

Lemon-yellow tips

New growth opens brightly at the ends of radiating branches.

Airy chartreuse form

Branches radiate into a broad vase-shaped line and lift their tips.

Orange to bronze

Cold weather warms the foliage colour without causing leaf fall.

Mature habit & dimensions

established mature plant

Height about 0.6mSpread about 1.2mAiry spreading vase form

Mature Juniperus horizontalis Limeglow™ (‘NOSlg’) forms an airy, broad vase. Its branches radiate from the open centre and lift at their tips, so the side elevation clearly expresses its spreading, lightweight architecture.

Form through time

two real states

Bright chartreuse extensionOrange to bronze in winter

Chartreuse extensionNew lemon-yellow tips illuminate the open form.

Bronze winterCold weather adds bronze tones while the foliage remains evergreen.

The drawings retain the vase-shaped branching and change the shoot length and genuine seasonal colour.

What to expect after planting: Once established, each spring extension opens the vase-shaped perimeter a little farther. Summer chartreuse gives way to warm bronze in winter and returns with fresh tips.

History & originCultivar originLarry Hatch · North Carolina State University · yellow sport of Juniperus horizontalis ‘Youngstown’

The documented story of Juniperus horizontalis Limeglow™ (‘NOSlg’) begins with a yellow sport on Juniperus horizontalis ‘Youngstown’, selected by Larry Hatch in association with North Carolina State University.

From that single shoot, the selection was propagated vegetatively so its bright chartreuse foliage and airy, spreading vase form would remain true from plant to plant.

It entered commerce under the full identity Juniperus horizontalis Limeglow™ (‘NOSlg’). The precise year and place of selection, as well as the date of its first propagation, are not securely recorded.

Greenleaf for Plant NerdsScience nobody asked forBotanical details for anyone curious about what lies behind the plant’s appearance

Juvenile foliage

Its fine feathery appearance comes largely from pointed juvenile foliage rather than the broad scale-leaved fans seen in some other conifers.

A shoot sport

A colour mutation on one shoot can become a cultivar when it is propagated vegetatively and proves stable.

Winter pigments

Cold and strong light favour protective pigments that shift chartreuse towards orange, bronze or burnished gold.

Frequently asked questions

Six specific answers about identity, origin, size, colour, light and watering.

01What is the full identity of Limeglow?

The introducer’s styling is Juniperus horizontalis Limeglow™ (‘NOSlg’); RHS also records the name as J. horizontalis ‘Limeglow’.

02Where did it come from?

Larry Hatch selected it, working with North Carolina State University, as a yellow sport of Juniperus horizontalis ‘Youngstown’.

03How large does it become?

Allow about 0.6m in height and 1.2m in spread.

04Why does it turn orange or bronze?

This is a natural winter response to cold and light. Fresh spring tips return to chartreuse.

05Sun or partial shade?

Full sun gives the strongest yellow-green. Light partial shade is tolerated, but foliage becomes greener.

06Is it drought tolerant?

Yes, once established, although it needs deep watering during its first season and in prolonged summer drought.
