juniperus prostrata
Juniperus prostrata is a highly sought-after groundcover conifer, favoured by New Zealand gardeners for its spreading, low-maintenance nature and evergreen appeal. With dense, blue-green foliage that hugs the ground, juniperus prostrata creates a lush carpet ideal for rockeries, retaining walls, sloping banks, and coastal gardens. Its rugged adaptability means it thrives in full sun or partial shade and tolerates poor, sandy, or windy soils, making it perfect for gardens where other plants may struggle. Drought-tolerant once established, juniperus prostrata is also prized for suppressing weeds, preventing soil erosion, and providing year-round texture and colour in landscaping designs.
