Juniperus horizontalis ‘Lime Glow’

Lime Glow Creeping Juniper

A prostrate, spreading juniper variety, distinguished by its unique foliage that is bright green, almost lime, in spring and summer, changing to warmer, golden hues in autumn and winter. It is ideal for beds, borders, or as a ground cover in gardens, and provides beautiful texture all year round. Its compact, spreading growth habit allows it to cover large areas with little maintenance. Drought tolerant once established, it requires little maintenance. Moderate watering is recommended during dry spells, but it is important not to overwater to avoid the risk of root rot. This juniper is well adapted to cold climates and tolerates harsh winters. To protect its roots from deep frosts, it is recommended to apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plants. Pruning is generally little necessary, but a light pruning in spring helps maintain its spreading shape and removes dead or damaged branches, ensuring healthy growth and even coverage.
