Juniperus chinensis 'Parsonii'

juniper parsonii

Also known as: Parson's Juniper

Juniper Parsonii is a tough evergreen ground cover known for its soft blue green to gray green foliage and naturally spreading growth. Native to Asia, this dependable juniper ground cover forms a dense, mounding carpet that brings year round color and texture to sunny landscapes. Once established, it is highly drought tolerant and handles heat and challenging growing conditions with ease. Juniper Parsonii grows best in full sun and well drained soil, making it a great choice for slopes, borders, mass plantings, rock gardens, and low maintenance landscapes.
