Creeping Juniper 'Nana'
FamilyCupressaceae
Juniperus procumbens 'Nana' is a dwarf Japanese juniper with a very spreading, low, and dense habit, forming a compact mat with slightly ascending branch tips. Its evergreen foliage, blue-green with silvery reflections, is composed of short, prickly needles arranged in a tight cushion, creating a neat and regular texture. It is prized for rockeries, slopes, borders, and bonsai art due to its fine and well-branched structure. Very hardy and drought-tolerant once established, it prefers well-drained soils and sunny exposures. 'Nana' is an excellent ornamental groundcover that retains its beauty in all seasons, with no special maintenance, while adding a sober and elegant graphic effect to landscape designs.
