juniperus communis green carpet
Juniperus communis Green Carpet is a highly sought-after groundcover conifer, prized by New Zealand gardeners for its dense, emerald-green foliage and beautifully spreading habit. This hardy, low-growing shrub is perfect for covering slopes, cascading over retaining walls, or adding year-round colour and texture to rockeries and borders. Easy to grow and requiring minimal maintenance, Juniperus communis Green Carpet thrives in a wide range of climates and is particularly suited to New Zealand conditions. Its resilience to wind, salt spray, and drought makes it a go-to choice for coastal and dry gardens, while its low, mat-forming habit suppresses weeds and reduces the need for extra mulching or care.
Juniperus procumbens Nana (Japanese Dwarf Juniper)
Juniperus procumbens 'Nana', commonly known as the Prostrate Juniper, is a ground-hugging conifer that forms a carpet of blue-green, needle-like leaves. The foliage is held densely on prostrate branches as it grows to 30 cm in height and 1.5 m in width. Juniperus procumbens 'Nana' is commonly used as an attractive groundcover, included in rock gardens, grown around the base of large trees, used in borders, mass planted on a bank, or generally included where a hardy, ground-covering plant is required.
Thymus Ruby Carpet (Creeping Thyme Ruby Carpet)
Thymus Ruby Carpet is a variety of Creeping Thyme that carries leaves that are scented, small, and a fresh green colour. It produces short spikes carrying fragrant, red flowers through summer, and typically grows to just 15 cm tall and 40 cm wide. Thymus Ruby Carpet is commonly included in herb or cottage gardens, planted between pavers or rocks, used as a groundcover, or allowed to trail over a wall or the like.
