Juniperus virginiana 'Spartan' (Spartan Juniper)

Juniperus virginiana 'Spartan' (Spartan Juniper) is a fast-growing, columnar evergreen conifer valued for its dense, rich green foliage and elegant formal appearance. This cultivar features soft, scale-like needles that maintain their vibrant green colour throughout the year, creating a lush, compact column perfect for vertical accents. Its naturally narrow, pyramidal growth habit requires minimal pruning to maintain its shape, making it an excellent low-maintenance choice for formal landscapes.

Ideal for screening, hedging, or as a structural accent, 'Spartan' thrives in well-drained soils and full sun. It demonstrates excellent drought tolerance once established and good resistance to pests and diseases. This versatile conifer is particularly valued for its fast growth rate, dense foliage, and ability to provide year-round structure and privacy in garden designs.
