Chinese juniper
Juniperus pfitzeriana 'Sea Green'
Overview
Chinese Juniper (Juniperus pfitzeriana 'Sea Green'), a hardy evergreen conifer, is perfect for small gardens and landscapes. Prized for its striking, bright emerald-green foliage, it provides year-round color, growth and texture with minimal effort. This slow-growing cultivar reaches a height and width of up to 8 feet when mature and tends to spread wide and low, making it an ideal choice as a spreading ground cover or low hedge. Its leaves stay attached to the branches for multiple years and provide excellent cover in winter when other plants lose theirs. Chinese Juniper is also quite drought tolerant and therefore requires minimal watering once it’s become established.
