Cupressaceae
Juniperus communis 'Green Carpet' is a dwarf creeping juniper with a dense, spreading groundcover habit, perfect for embankments, rockeries, borders, or low-maintenance gardens. This evergreen conifer forms a carpet of light green foliage in spring, turning dark green in season, retaining its beautiful color all year round. Very hardy and undemanding, it thrives in full sun in well-drained soil, even poor or sandy, and is drought-tolerant once established. Thanks to its slow growth, it requires virtually no pruning. It is also deer-resistant, and its low-growing foliage is valued for stabilizing slopes and reducing weeds. With its discreet and functional silhouette, 'Green Carpet' brings structure and unity to natural or contemporary landscape designs.
