The Japanese garden juniper is a compact evergreen that grows between 6 to 12 inches in height and spreads out to 4 to 6 feet in width. It's an excellent choice for ground cover, ideal for stabilizing slopes or cascading over low walls. Its blue-green foliage takes on a subtle purple hue during the winter months.
Widely used by bonsai enthusiasts, this juniper is an excellent selection for an individual specimen in a rock garden. Its lower growing, mounding habit makes it an excellent choice for hillside erosion control.
