Japanese Garden Juniper

Juniperus procumbens 'Nana'

Japanese Garden Juniper is the go-to evergreen groundcover — a dense, creeping mat of blue-green foliage that hugs the ground and cascades beautifully over walls and banks. It creates a year-round green carpet that suppresses weeds and requires almost zero maintenance. Perfect for Japanese gardens, rock gardens, and slope stabilization.
