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.

Frequently asked questions

Q: How do I plant it as a groundcover?
A: Space plants according to their expected spread (e.g., if a variety spreads 6 ft, plant them 4-5 ft apart for them to knit together). Plant on a slope or mound for good drainage, which is critical. Weed thoroughly before planting, as weeding later through the dense branches is difficult.

Q: The center is turning brown and dying. Why?
A: This is a common issue called "center die-out." Causes include: 1) Poor drainage/root rot. 2) Spider mites (a major pest for junipers). 3) Being shaded out by its own outer growth or other plants. 4) Fungal diseases like blight. Improve air circulation, ensure good drainage, and treat for pests.
