Dwarf Japanese Garden Juniper | Live Inch Pots | Juniperus Procumbens Nana | Drought Tolerant Evergreen Groundcover | Great Plants for Bonsai

A dense mound of ground-hugging branches that radiates from the center. New growth is bright green turning to bluish green as it matures. Winter color has a purple tint. Wonderful evergreen for a group planting on a rocky slope, or trained into an upright staked specimen. Foliage and form is superb when left unshared. Easily grown in sandy soils on the dry side; adaptable to a wide range of well-drained soils. Water deeply, regularly during first growing season to establish an extensive root system; reduce frequency once established. Apply fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. Prune topiary forms regularly to maintain shape and size.
