Juniper Pom Pom
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.
