JUNIPERUS SQUAMATA ‘HOLGER’ / HOLGER JUNIPER

Striking Variegated Foliage with a Compact, Spreading Form
Juniperus squamata ‘Holger,’ commonly known as Holger Juniper, is a unique evergreen shrub that features a stunning combination of bright yellow new growth and mature silvery-blue foliage. This eye-catching contrast makes it a standout in any garden, offering year-round color and texture. With a compact, spreading habit, ‘Holger’ is ideal for borders, rock gardens, or as a low-maintenance ground cover.

Why Choose Holger Juniper?

Comparison: Unlike traditional blue junipers, ‘Holger’ offers a striking contrast of bright yellow tips against its cool blue-green mature foliage. This variegation adds an extra layer of visual interest, making it a more dynamic choice than standard juniper varieties.

Companions: Pairs well with other colorful evergreens such as Gold Mop Cypress or Blue Star Juniper. It also contrasts beautifully with flowering perennials like Sedum or Coreopsis, enhancing seasonal color displays.

Key Features:

  • Bright Yellow New Growth: Spring flushes of golden-yellow foliage contrast beautifully with the mature silvery-blue needles.
  • Compact, Spreading Growth: Forms a low, mounded shape, making it perfect for borders, rock gardens, or ground cover.
  • Low Maintenance: Drought-tolerant and requires minimal pruning, making it an easy-care option for any garden.
  • Cold-Hardy & Adaptable: Thrives in a variety of soil conditions and withstands cold winter temperatures.
  • Year-Round Interest: Maintains its striking variegation throughout all seasons, providing continuous visual appeal.

Specifications:

  • Mature Height: 60–90 cm tall
  • Mature Width: 1.2–1.5 m wide
  • Growth Rate: Moderate (10–20 cm per year)
  • Sun Exposure: Full sun
  • Hardiness: Zone 4–7

Holger Juniper is the perfect choice for gardeners looking to add year-round color and texture with minimal upkeep. Its bright yellow new growth and spreading form make it a fantastic addition to rock gardens, borders, or mixed perennial beds.

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.
