Description
Juniperus procumbens Nana spreads slowly into a dense evergreen groundcover of long prostrate branches clothed in short, spiny-pointed blue-green to grey-green needles. Winter cold may add purple tones.
This sun-loving dwarf juniper tolerates heat, drought, rocky ground, and urban conditions once established. It needs sharp drainage and can spill attractively over retaining walls.
