Full sun, deer and drought resistant, zone 2

Juniperus horizontalis Prince of Wales

Pot size #2

Canadian introduction; very hardy; features bright green foliage, turning purplish in winter; attractive ground-hugging habit; wide spreading; extremely adaptable; excellent for trailing over walls.

Prince of Wales Juniper has attractive emerald green foliage. The scale-like leaves are highly ornamental and turn plum purple in fall. Neither the flowers nor the fruit are ornamentally significant.

Prince of Wales Juniper will grow to be only 6 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 6 feet. It tends to fill out right to the ground and therefore doesn’t necessarily require facer plants in front. It grows at a slow rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 30 years.
