Prostrate Juniper - Shrub

Make sure the root ball of Prostrate Juniper is well-moistened. Soak in a bucket of lukewarm water before planting. Prepare a large hole in good loose soil. Plant the roots of creeping juniper at the correct depth, the top of the root ball should be just slightly below ground level. Fill the hole with soil and press firmly. Water immediately after planting. It can be planted anywhere with full sunshine or light shade.

Prostrate Juniper is a very flat-growing evergreen plant and therefore makes a great ground cover. These shrubs can be planted instead of a lawn and can also be planted on a slope. It can even look attractive in a planter.

The evergreen foliage of Prostrate Juniper forms a dense mat about 10-20 cm high. You do not have to mow and you can even walk on Juniperus. It is the perfect substitute for a lawn! Heavy watering is not recommended.

Prostrate Juniper is one of the easiest growing garden plants and requires minimal maintenance. In winter or early in spring, condition poor soil with some compost or cow manure to ensure a good growth. Pruning is not necessary.
