Japanese garden juniper

Juniperus procumbens 'Nana'

Overview

Japanese garden juniper (Juniperus procumbens 'Nana') is an evergreen, low-growing shrub with a naturally irregular, compact shape. Aged specimens may reach up to two feet in height, but typically remain smaller. Lush, bright green foliage adorns this hardy groundcover. New foliage may assume a more silvery hue when established in shadier, moist growing conditions. In spring it produces clusters of small gray-blue berries. With a spreading habit of growth, Japanese garden juniper 'Nana' makes an excellent choice for mass plantings, rock gardens and low hedges to provide year-round interest.
