Evergreen Juniperus chinensis (Juniper)
Color Name: Montana Moss®
Do you love the look of Juniper but hesitant of the pokie branches? Check out Juniper Montana Moss, a low growing soft textured variety. Montana Moss stands 2-3 foot tall and spreads up to 5 foot wide. The blue green foliage is finely textured with a soft moss like feel. Hardy in zones 4-9, juniper like to be planted in full sun locations and is heat and drought tolerant. The stunning evergreen foliage is perfect for along walks, ground cover, or planted in rock gardens. This deer resistant, salt tolerant evergreen is an easy to grow, durable ground cover option.
Growing Tips: Tolerates hot, dry, sunny locations and urban sites.
Soil: Well-drained soil is imperative; can tolerate dry conditions and poor soils.
Pruning: Pruning is not typically required as a matter of course; prune to shape or to control spread as needed.
Uses: Mass plantings, specimen plant.
