Juniperus horizontalis - Creeping Juniper

Market price from $5.30 to $13.25

Juniperus horizontalis is more than a mouthful — it's an eye-full too. More commonly known as "Creeping Juniper," its low-growing stature and expansive spread make it an appealing, evergreen addition to any landscape. This robust shrub is famed for its fern-like, aromatic foliage that transforms into stunning purplish hues throughout the winter months, ensuring year-round visual intrigue. Its elusive yellow flowers and striking dark blue berries only add to the Creeping Juniper's charm. But don't let its delicate look fool you, this plant is a titan when it comes to toughness. Thriving in full sun and boasting a notable drought resistance, it asks for little but gives much in return. So, if your terrain needs some taming or you're looking for perennial ground cover that's as attractive as it is adaptable, the Creeping Juniper stands ready to rise (or rather, spread) to the challenge.
