JUNIPERUS CHINENSIS ‘MINT JULEP’

Mint Julep Chinese Juniper

A compact variety, characterized by upward-arching branches. Its blue-green foliage gives it a soft texture and pleasant color throughout the year. This evergreen juniper grows to a height of 1 to 2 meters, making it an excellent choice for small gardens, borders, or as an accent plant in rockeries. Its elegant growth habit and moderate size make it suitable for use in a variety of landscapes. Very drought-tolerant once established, it requires little maintenance. Water it moderately for the first few years to encourage strong root development. Light fertilization in spring can encourage growth, although it can tolerate poor soils. Mulching around the base can be helpful to protect the roots for the first few years. Pruning is generally not necessary, but a light pruning in early spring to remove dead or misshapen branches will help maintain its compact, neat shape.
