Description
Juniper Garden is a stunning, low-growing evergreen that brings a refined, textural element to the landscape. With its dense, spreading habit and beautiful blue-green foliage, this juniper forms a soft, mounded carpet that provides year-round visual interest. Its tidy, compact growth makes it an excellent choice for ground cover, rock gardens, and cascading over retaining walls. The foliage takes on a subtle purplish hue in winter, adding a refreshing seasonal shift. Highly durable and adaptable, Juniper Garden offers one of the finest solutions for erosion control, mass plantings, or as a striking accent in landscape beds.
General Care
- Sunlight: Prefers full sun
- Watering: Once established, water occasionally, allowing soil to dry slightly between waterings
- Mulching: Apply a 2-inch layer of mulch to help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature
- Pruning: Rarely needed; trim lightly in late winter or early spring if shaping is desired
With its polished, spreading form and year-round color, Juniper Garden is a satisfying choice for creating a lush, low-maintenance ground cover that adds depth and elegance to any landscape.
