JUNIPERUS HORIZONTALIS ‘PRINCE OF WALES’ / PRINCE OF WALES JUNIPER
Hardy, Low-Growing Ground Cover with Year-Round Color
Juniperus horizontalis ‘Prince of Wales,’ commonly known as Prince of Wales Juniper, is a vigorous, low-spreading evergreen prized for its dense, carpet-like growth and year-round color. Its bright green foliage takes on a beautiful purple-bronze hue in winter, adding seasonal interest. This drought-tolerant, low-maintenance juniper is perfect for ground cover, erosion control, and rock gardens.
Why Choose Prince of Wales Juniper?
Comparison: ‘Prince of Wales’ spreads faster and stays lower to the ground than many other junipers, making it an excellent alternative to Blue Rug Juniper. It also adapts well to poor soils and harsh conditions, thriving where other plants may struggle.
Companions: Pairs well with other low-growing evergreens like Dwarf Mugo Pine or Blue Star Juniper. It also contrasts beautifully with flowering perennials such as Creeping Phlox, Sedum, or ornamental grasses.
Key Features:
- Dense, Spreading Growth: Forms a lush, weed-suppressing mat, perfect for ground cover or stabilizing slopes.
- Year-Round Color: Bright green in spring and summer, transitioning to a rich purple-bronze in colder months.
- Extremely Low Maintenance: Drought-tolerant and requires little pruning or care once established.
- Cold-Hardy & Resilient: Thrives in a variety of soil conditions, including rocky or sandy soils.
- Erosion Control: Excellent for preventing soil erosion on slopes or banks.
Specifications:
- Mature Height: 15–20 cm tall
- Mature Width: 1.5–2.4 m wide
- Growth Rate: Moderate (15–30 cm per year)
- Sun Exposure: Full sun
- Hardiness: Zone 2–8
Prince of Wales Juniper is an outstanding choice for gardeners looking for a hardy, low-maintenance ground cover that offers year-round interest. Its spreading habit, resilience, and seasonal color changes make it a perfect addition to rock gardens, slopes, and low-maintenance landscapes.

Care Instructions
Different plants have different watering needs. Check the soil moisture by inserting your finger about an inch into the soil. If it feels dry, water the plant until the water drains from the bottom of the pot. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
