Juniperus chinensis 'Gnom'
Juniperus chinensis 'Gnom' is a dwarf evergreen conifer with a naturally narrow, columnar habit, perfect for small spaces, rock gardens, borders, or container plantings. This juniper, with its dense gray-green foliage, maintains its compact form without pruning, offering a stable vertical structure in landscape designs. Very hardy, it tolerates cold climates down to -45°C, and prefers full sun exposure in well-drained, even poor, soil. When mature, it produces small dark blue berries that add winter interest while being appreciated by wildlife. Thanks to its slow growth, 'Gnom' requires little maintenance and easily integrates into formal, contemporary, or natural gardens looking for a discreet and durable vertical accent.
