Green Mound Juniper (Juniperus procumbens ‘Green Mound’) is a low-growing, evergreen groundcover known for its dense, mounding habit and finely textured, blue-green foliage. This slow-spreading conifer typically reaches 1 to 2 feet in height and spreads 4 to 6 feet wide, forming a lush, carpet-like mat that hugs the ground. Its soft, needle-like foliage maintains its vibrant color year-round and can take on a slightly purplish tint in winter, adding seasonal interest. Green Mound Juniper is especially popular for rock gardens, slopes, retaining walls, and bonsai, thanks to its compact, trailing form and ability to cover ground effectively with minimal maintenance.

In addition to its aesthetic appeal, Green Mound Juniper is extremely hardy and resilient. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil and is both drought-tolerant and resistant to deer, pests, and many diseases once established. Its low water needs and tolerance for poor soils make it an excellent choice for erosion control and xeriscaping. This juniper requires little pruning, although it can be lightly shaped if desired. With its graceful, spreading form and tough nature, Green Mound Juniper is a reliable and attractive choice for adding texture, color, and structure to a wide range of landscape settings.
