Product Description

Juniperus ‘Green Carpet’ is a superb creeping dwarf evergreen conifer, valued for its compact growth, dense foliage and reliable year-round interest. Its branches produce attractive sprays of needle-like leaves, beginning in a fresh, bright green shade before developing into a richer, darker green as the plant matures.

With a low-growing habit and a spread of around 1m, this versatile juniper is ideal for creating a natural carpet of greenery. Plant it at the front of a border, use it to soften the edges of pathways and rockeries, or incorporate it into a larger display alongside ornamental grasses, dwarf shrubs and flowering perennials.

Hardy and adaptable, Juniperus ‘Green Carpet’ is an excellent option for gardeners seeking an easy-care evergreen. It performs best in a sunny position with well-drained soil and, once established, generally requires little maintenance.
