Description
Juniperus horizontalis ‘Prince of Wales’ is a very low, wide-spreading evergreen conifer with long trailing branches and dense green scale-like foliage. Blue overtones and burgundy-purple winter tints add four-season interest.
This durable ground cover suits slopes, rock gardens, retaining-wall edges, and dry urban sites. It performs best in full sun and freely draining soil, where it helps cover exposed ground with little routine maintenance.
