Juniper Procumbens Nana

Juniperus procumbens ‘Nana’, commonly known as Nana Juniper, is a compact, low-growing variety of juniper. It is a popular ornamental plant often used in landscaping due to its attractive foliage and ground-covering growth habit.

Here are some key characteristics of Juniperus procumbens ‘Nana’:

• Growth Habit: It is a dwarf, spreading, and low-growing shrub. It typically reaches a height of 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 cm) and can spread up to 3 to 6 feet (90 cm to 1.8 meters) wide.
• Foliage: The plant has dense, evergreen, needle-like leaves that are green in the summer and can turn bluish-green or grayish-green during winter.
• Sunlight: It prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade.
• Soil: This juniper is adaptable to a variety of well-draining soils and is quite drought-tolerant once established.
• Uses: Often used as a ground cover, in rock gardens, or as a bonsai specimen. It can also be grown in containers.
• Hardiness: Hardy in USDA zones 4 to 8, meaning it can tolerate a range of temperatures, from cold winters to warmer summers.

This variety of juniper is popular for its ease of care and its ability to grow in poor soil, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance gardens and areas where other plants may struggle.
