Juniperus 'Nana'

Juniperus Nana is a low-growing, extremely hardy, wide spreading compact mat-forming evergreen conifer with long-spreading branches that stiffen and hug the ground. It boasts tiny, needle-like foliage that establishes as blue-green during the summer months before adding a purple-ish hue in the winter. Nana is a slow grower but provides excellent ground cover in well-drained flower beds that are exposed to full sun, it is also resistant to drought and various temperature changes once it is established, as well as tolerating most soil conditions, making it a low maintenance shrub.
