The slow growth and short needle foliage provide a soft appearance in the landscape, maturing to an average size of 6 inches to 1 foot tall and spreading between 4 - 6 feet. In the winter, the foliage may take on a purple hue.

Dwarf Japanese Garden Juniper 'Nana' is one of the most popular bonsai trees due to the ease of training and pruning. They are also commonly used in rock and Asian-inspired gardens as well as in containers on patios. Also, this plant is often selected for bonsai growing and small topiaries. If space permits the spreading nature of this groundcover juniper, it will take on a mounding shape or may even begin to grow over obstacles such as low walls or small rocks.

Planting Instructions

Dig a Hole

First, dig a hole three times the width of the root ball of your plant. This makes it easier for the root system to spread out quickly. Dig the hole deep enough that your plant will sit level with or slightly above the ground around it.

Amend Your Soil

Mix your native soil with rich gardening soil to provide extra nutrients and support plant growth. If your soil is clay-heavy, we recommend mixing your native clay soil with equal parts of Pine Bark mulch to improve drainage and the overall breathability of your soil.

Place Your Plant

Examine the roots. If they appear tightly bound, gently coax them apart; this ensures they can spread into the new soil. Place your plant in the hole so the top of the rootball is even with the surrounding soil—Backfill around it with the amended soil mixture. The roots need access to oxygen for your plant to thrive, so do not cover the rootball; place soil around it.

Mulch Your Plants

Top the soil beneath your plant with 3-4 inches of mulch to help it retain moisture. Be careful not to cover the rootball - your new plants roots need access to oxygen.

Water Your Plant

Soak the plant with a hose afterward to hydrate the plant, as well as get the soil and mulch situated. Develop a regular watering schedule based on your plant's needs and local weather patterns. Remember, over watering is just as, if not more, harmful than under watering.

Spacing Recommendations

Spacing Your Green Mound Nana Juniper

For a seamless planting, space your Green Mound Nana Juniper 2-3 feet apart from plant center to plant center. For space between plantings, plant them 5+ feet apart.
