Features

Characteristics

Plant Needs

The Forever Goldy Arborvitae is an upright, pyramidal evergreen that brings a splash of golden light to the landscape all year long. Unlike many “gold” conifers that fade in summer, Forever Goldy keeps its luminous yellow tones in full sun without burning or dulling. With its naturally slender form and tidy, feathery texture, it makes an elegant vertical accent for both classic gardens and modern outdoor spaces.

Why We Love It

At Creekside, we love plants that deliver structure, color, and reliability all in one package — and Forever Goldy checks every box. Its slim, upright shape makes it a perfect fit for tight spaces, while the bright, golden foliage shines against darker evergreens, burgundy shrubs, and cool blue grasses. It’s a plant that instantly elevates a border, an entryway, or a container with a touch of elegance — all without demanding much in return.

Uses Notes

  • Use as a specimen plant to anchor beds or highlight entryways.
  • Excellent in containers, where its upright form adds structure and glow year-round.
  • Beautiful contrast with plants like Loropetalum, hollies, blue fescue, Sunshine Ligustrum, or gardenias.
