Tsuga canadensis New Gold
New Gold Hemlock
New Gold Canadian Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis ‘New Gold’) produces a bright flush of golden growth against older dark green foliage. The contrast is strongest in spring, when the lighter tips give the whole plant a fresh, two-tone appearance.
Its compact upright framework provides structure after the new growth has matured. A simple setting helps the spring color remain the focus, especially among companions with quieter green foliage.
Grow in sun or partial shade. Choose soil that drains freely and water during establishment.
