Juniper Bar Harbor - 15 Live Plants - Drought Tolerant Cold Hardy Evergreen

Creeping juniper is a procumbent evergreen shrub that is native to Canada and the northern U. S. where it typically occurs in sandy and gravelly soils, sand dunes, rock outcroppings, slopes, prairies and stream banks. It forms a low ground cover that generally rises to 6-18" tall but spreads by long trailing branches with abundant short branchlets to form an often-dense mat. Foliage is primarily scale-like adult with some awl-like juvenile needles appearing usually in opposite pairs. Foliage is typically green to blue-green during the growing season, but often acquires purple tones in winter. Fleshy seed cones dark blue berries generally mature in two years, but are often absent on cultivated plants. 'Bar Harbor' is a relatively fast-growing male cultivar which features blue-gray foliage that becomes purplish in winter.
