Product description
Juniperus ‘Golden Carpet’, sometimes known as Creeping Juniper is a great, low-growing conifer with interesting foliage colouration. The dense, needle-like leaves carry tinges of yellow when under sun, allowing for a nice balance of yellow-green hues when in partially shaded sites and gaining tints of orange-red in the colder months. Its spreading growth is perfect for groundcover, spreading quite far from the base and lending to its name. A great option for rockeries or edging.
Plant in any well-drained soil and keep in full or partial sun. Drought tolerant once established. Avoid overwatering and constantly wet soils as this may cause root damage.
Please Note: When purchasing plants please consider that each live item is unique and may, therefore, differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. This plant will be supplied in a grower’s pot.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Avoid overwatering Juniperus, as they thrive in dry conditions. Prune lightly to maintain shape but avoid heavy pruning, as they don't recover well from it.
How to Water
Water Juniperus deeply after planting and regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. Once established, they are drought-tolerant and only need occasional watering during prolonged dry periods.
How to Plant
Plant Juniperus in well-drained soil and a location with full sun. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and as deep as its height. Place the plant, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly. Space plants adequately for air circulation, especially for spreading varieties.
