Planting and Care Guide

Planting Tips

Plant in spring or fall as a groundcover, particularly on slopes, banks, or areas where other plants struggle. This juniper requires well-drained soil and tolerates sandy, rocky, and poor soils extremely well. Dig the planting hole to the same depth as the root ball, space plants 5–6 feet apart to allow for spreading, and water well at planting. Mulch lightly between plants until they fill in.

Care Tips

Once established, Bar Harbor Creeping Juniper is virtually maintenance free. It requires no pruning and is highly drought tolerant. Avoid planting in wet or poorly drained soils, which is the primary cause of decline. No fertilizing is needed in average soils. The steel-blue foliage takes on attractive plum tones in winter, adding year-round interest.
