Growing Tips:
Dwarf Japanese Garden Juniper, commonly known as Juniperus procumbens ‘Nana’, is a hardy, low-growing evergreen prized for its dense, blue-green foliage and spreading form. It thrives in full sun and well-draining soil; excellent drainage is critical, as junipers do not tolerate wet feet. This variety is extremely cold-hardy and drought-tolerant once established, making it ideal for rock gardens, slopes, bonsai, and groundcover plantings.
Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system, then reduce watering once mature. Avoid heavy fertilization—junipers prefer lean soils and may lose their compact form if overfed. Minimal pruning is needed, but light trimming in late winter or early spring can help maintain shape. This juniper is deer-resistant, wind-tolerant, and well-suited for containers, raised beds, and traditional Japanese-style gardens.
