Juniperus chinensis 'Parsonii'

juniper parsonii

Also known as: Parson's Juniper

Native to Asia, Juniper Parsonii is one of the most successful groundcover junipers grown in the Southeast. Its blue-green to gray-green foliage has a soft, almost feathery texture, spreading low and wide to create a dense, mounding carpet of year-round color. Highly drought tolerant once established, it handles tough growing conditions with ease, making it a dependable choice for sunny, low-maintenance landscapes.
