Description

Prostrate Junipers are the essential, tough-as-nails groundcovers of the conifer world. These low-growing, spreading shrubs feature scale-like or needle-like foliage in shades of blue, green, or gold. They excel at suppressing weeds, covering slopes, and adding year-round texture and color to rock gardens, over walls, or in areas where nothing else will grow. They are the definition of low-maintenance, thriving on neglect.

• Low-growing, sprawling or creeping evergreen shrubs used primarily as groundcovers.

• Foliage varies from prickly needles to soft scales, in colors from blue-gray to bright gold to deep green.

• Extremely drought, heat, and poor soil tolerant once established. Deer resistant.

• Require full sun for best form and color; will become loose and open in shade.

• Ideal for erosion control on slopes, rock gardens, cascading over walls, or as a low-maintenance foundation planting.

• Many varieties exist, offering a range of colors, textures, and spread rates.
