The Juniperus communis 'Green Carpet' is a dense, low-growing evergreen groundcover prized for its ability to form a soft, lush mat of vibrant green foliage. It is one of the most reliable evergreens for the harsh conditions of the Canadian Prairies.
Foliage: Features soft, needle-like foliage that emerges bright green and matures to a slightly darker emerald. Unlike many other junipers, it maintains its vibrant green colour throughout the winter without significant bronzing.
Size & Form: A truly ground-hugging variety, reaching only 15–30 cm (6–12 inches) in height while spreading slowly to a width of 1.2–1.8 metres (4–6 feet).
Hardiness: Exceptionally cold-hardy, rated for Canadian Hardiness Zone 2 to 6.
Landscape Uses: Ideal for rock gardens, erosion control on slopes, and as a low-maintenance lawn alternative or border edging.
Light: Performs best in full sun (at least 6 hours of direct light) but can tolerate partial shade.
Water: Requires regular watering during the first 1–2 years to establish roots. Once established, it is highly drought-tolerant and prefers dry to moderate moisture levels; avoid waterlogged soil to prevent root rot.
Soil: Highly adaptable to various soil types, including sandy, rocky, or alkaline soils, provided there is good drainage.
Maintenance: Minimal pruning is required. If necessary, light trimming should be done in early spring before new growth begins.
