Dwarf Japanese Garden Juniper (Juniperus procumbens ‘Nana’) delivers four‑season structure and color with its compact, ground‑hugging habit and refined, blue‑green foliage. Naturally forming a neat, low mound, it’s a standout for rock gardens, edging, and erosion control on sunny slopes. This adaptable evergreen thrives in well‑drained soils, needs minimal pruning, and can be trained into elegant staked or bonsai forms—making it a versatile, low‑maintenance solution for modern and traditional landscapes alike.
A compact, prostrate juniper forming a dense, ground‑hugging mound with radially arranged branches that keep a clean, architectural outline without routine pruning.
New growth emerges bright green and matures to a handsome blue‑green; cooler weather can bring a subtle purple cast for added seasonal interest.
Full sun to partial sun; brightest color and tightest growth occur with abundant light.
Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish roots; once established, allow soil to dry slightly between waterings and avoid soggy conditions.
Prefers well‑drained soils and performs well in sandy or slightly dry sites; intolerant of poor drainage or standing water.
Natural habit to approximately 1 ft. tall and 6 ft. wide; can be trained on a stake to 2–4 ft. tall for a sculptural accent or bonsai effect.
Easy care, waterwise once established, deer and rabbit resistant, coastal tolerant, and useful for erosion control on banks and slopes.
Ideal for rock gardens, borders, and low groundcover; excellent cascading over walls or containers; well‑suited to Asian‑inspired designs and small‑space gardens.
Plant in well‑drained soil at or slightly above grade. Mulch to suppress weeds, keeping mulch off the stems. Feed lightly in early spring. Leave natural forms unpruned for best texture; prune staked/topiary forms periodically to maintain shape.
