Juniperus Procumbens ‘Nana’

Dwarf Japanese Garden Juniper

Evergreen conifer with a very low, spreading habit, forming a dense, compact groundcover. Its short, tightly layered branches create a fine-textured, carpet-like effect, with a slightly irregular and natural outline. It is one of the most commonly used junipers for bonsai due to its compact growth and flexibility.

The foliage is composed of short, sharp, needle-like leaves arranged in whorls, giving it a slightly coarse but dense texture. Its color is a fresh green to bluish-green, maintaining a clean and consistent appearance throughout the year, sometimes taking on slightly darker tones in winter.

Juniperus procumbens ‘Nana’ prefers full sun and well-drained soil, thriving in poor, sandy, or rocky conditions. It tolerates dry to moderately dry soils and adapts well to exposed environments. Once established, it shows high drought tolerance, good resistance to urban pollution, and moderate tolerance to salt. It is ideal for bonsai, groundcover, slopes, rock gardens, and erosion control.
