Holger’s Juniper is a rare and striking evergreen, with a beautiful flat-topped form and drooping branch tips. The spring growth is a creamy-yellow with some lime overtones, gradually maturing to a striking silver-blue. The colors hold well in winter, and this plant is always beautiful and a real stand-out. It grows around 4 feet tall and wide, and needs no trimming. It is perfect for an accent among your foundation planting, or for covering a slope, with its erosion resistant root system. It looks great in gravel beds among boulders, or in planters. It’s also popular to make a bonsai tree.
Full sun is best for Holger’s Juniper, to give the best color development and good growth. It grows in any well-drained soils, including rocky and sandy soil, or urban areas, and in any soil that isn’t wet. It is drought resistant once established, and very resistant to salt spray. Pest and disease free, it is very easy to grow. Avoid trimming to retain the graceful form of this beautiful plant.
