Juniperus communis Hornibrookii

Juniperus communis Hornibrookii Details

Juniperus communis Hornibrookii is a lovely, ground hugging conifer. Its main attraction is the fine and layered, green-grey, needle like foliage. It typically grows to 50 cm tall and 2 m wide as a dense mat, performing best when planted on a well-drained site in full sun or partial shade. It is tolerant of dry conditions but not of prolonged wet soils. It is also tolerant of coastal environments and cold conditions. Juniperus communis Hornibrookii is commonly used as an attractive groundcover, planted beside steps or a path and allowed to spill over, or used as a border plant.
