Juniperus Horizontalis ‘Bar Harbor’

Bar Harbor Creeping Juniper

Low-growing evergreen conifer with a broad, spreading habit and trailing branches. It forms a dense, ground-hugging mat that creates a smooth, uniform cover, ideal for stabilizing slopes and filling large areas.

The foliage is fine-textured, composed of small, scale-like leaves. Its color is a soft blue-green during the growing season, turning to attractive purplish or plum tones in winter, adding seasonal interest. This coloration is most intense in full sun.

Juniperus horizontalis ‘Bar Harbor’ prefers full sun and well-drained soil, thriving in poor, sandy, or rocky conditions. It tolerates moderately dry to dry soils and performs well in exposed sites. Once established, it shows high drought tolerance, good resistance to urban pollution, and moderate tolerance to salt. It is ideal for slopes, rock gardens, and as a hardy groundcover.
