JUNIPERUS PROCUMBENS NANA / JAPANESE GARDEN JUNIPER

A Low-Growing Groundcover with Graceful Foliage
Juniperus procumbens 'Nana,' commonly known as Japanese Garden Juniper, is a dense, ground-hugging conifer that adds beauty and structure to garden landscapes. With its rich green needles and spreading habit, this low-growing juniper is perfect for ground cover, rock gardens, or cascading over walls and containers. Its compact form makes it an excellent choice for creating natural barriers or filling in areas of your landscape with ease.

Why Choose Japanese Garden Juniper?

Comparison: Unlike taller varieties of juniper, 'Nana' is known for its creeping, low-growing nature. It provides the same hardy, evergreen appeal as other junipers but remains compact and ground-hugging, making it a great option for smaller spaces, slopes, or areas where a spreading ground cover is needed.

Companions: Works well with other low-growing plants, including ornamental grasses, dwarf conifers, or flowering ground covers. It also pairs beautifully with larger shrubs or trees as a base plant or filler for garden beds.

Key Features:

  • Low-Growing Groundcover: Its spreading, low habit makes it ideal for filling in garden beds, covering slopes, or cascading over walls and containers.
  • Rich Green Foliage: The lush, dark green needles create a dense carpet of foliage that remains vibrant year-round.
  • Hardy & Resilient: Thrives in USDA zones 4–8, and is adaptable to a wide range of climates, from colder regions to temperate zones.
  • Low Maintenance: Japanese Garden Juniper is easy to care for, requiring little pruning or water once established. It’s drought-tolerant and can thrive in various soil conditions.
  • Versatile: Perfect for rock gardens, mixed borders, or used as a natural ground cover, this juniper can also be used to fill empty spaces or soften harsh landscape elements.

Specifications:

  • Mature Height: 0.3–0.6 m tall
  • Mature Width: 1.5–2.5 m wide
  • Growth Rate: Slow to moderate (15–30 cm per year)
  • Sun Exposure: Full sun to partial shade
  • Hardiness: Zone 4–8

Japanese Garden Juniper is an ideal choice for gardeners looking to add a graceful, low-maintenance evergreen ground cover to their landscape. Its dense growth habit, rich green foliage, and versatility make it a perfect option for creating a lush carpet or accenting other plants in smaller garden spaces.

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.
