Cedrus deodara ‘Gold Horizon’

Cedrus deodara ‘Gold Horizon’ is a low-growing, spreading Deodar Cedar valued for its soft golden-yellow foliage and graceful, layered branching. This evergreen conifer forms a broad, horizontal habit, making it an excellent choice for groundcover, slopes, retaining walls, and foundation plantings. Its bright gold tones are most vibrant in full sun and provide striking contrast against darker evergreens.

With a moderate growth rate, typically 6–12 inches per year, ‘Gold Horizon’ performs well in USDA Zones 6–9. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, offering drought tolerance once established. This unique golden cedar adds year-round color, texture, and architectural interest to residential and commercial landscapes.
