Juniperus Conferta (Shore Juniper)
Juniperus Conferta (Japanese Shore Juniper) is a low-growing, evergreen conifer that spreads wide to create a beautiful ground cover. With its needle-shaped acicular foliage, this resilient plant forms dense, green mats that can withstand harsh conditions. The compact, spreading growth habit makes it perfect for low-maintenance landscapes, adding texture and interest to garden beds and borders.
Ideal for full sun, Japanese Shore Juniper thrives in well-drained, waterwise environments. It’s an excellent choice for coastal gardens or as a drought-tolerant ground cover that also offers year-round greenery.
