This evergreen shrub features dense and gracefully arching branches pruned into an elegant pom-pom form, making it a striking addition to landscapes or patios in a large, potted container. It exhibits a soft green needle-like foliage that persists year-round, with its color deepening slightly in colder months but without significant fall color change. Hardy in zones 4–9, this shrub thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, tolerating a variety of soil types including sandy and clay soils. It has excellent deer resistance, making it a low-maintenance choice for gardens. With a mature height of 4–6 feet in its natural habit, though often shaped and maintained at a smaller size, this juniper retains a rounded and compact form. It’s ideal for those seeking a sculptural, low-water-use plant with a refined appearance that complements formal or modern garden designs.
