Don’t sit on this problem if your juniper is loaded with scale.
Forms a hardy green carpet with very rigid branching & stiff low growing foliage. Although creeping juniper is often grown as a groundcover, it cannot withstand foot traffic. Plant this spreading shrub where it won't cover walkways or be stepped on. Several issues can cause a creeping juniper to develop yellowing or browning foliage, but fungal diseases are especially common. Fungi usually take hold on plants that are receiving too much water or are in an overly shady location.
Create the garden you’ve always wanted
Now it’s time to start a new knitting project, finish up painting the basement, or whatever else you have to occupy yourself over the next few months. By spring, your cutting should have roots and new growth forming. Firm the soil around the cutting and water so the soil feels moist, like a well-wrung-out sponge. Allow the surface of the soil to dry out in between watering. The best wood is young but firm, so new growth that has had the summer to mature is ideal.
Junipers in pots don’t need to be fed, but you should change the soil every two years, whether you repot in a larger container or not. You’ll need to upgrade the pot size once every few years if you want to encourage it to grow to its full size. If you want to keep it smaller, don’t bother sizing up. If your soil is any type ranging from sandy to clay, you don’t need to do anything to prepare the area. Don’t bother with trying to start these plants from seed.
Your Session Is About to Time Out
If you are talking the TRUE ground hugging Js... They can easily cover a 6 to 8 foot circle.. Did any of the spots you show offer that kind of future potential ...
KatherineD - I've always torn out the blue violets that have sprouted in my yard...just seemed they had the potential to be such a nuisance. But now one has entered my yard that has a larger bloom and is more of a pink blossom...it looks like an actual plant rather than a weed with a tiny blossom. I can see how you like them - especially in that picture with the large drift of them.
What Is Creeping Juniper?
Besides, you'll want to apply a bit of mulch in the holes, too, thereby discouraging weeds from sprouting up right next to your creeping junipers. It serves as a reminder that, as evergreens, creeping junipers are moderately promising for adding to your yard's winter interest. One must say "moderately" because, being short plants, they will be covered by deep snows, robbing you of any visual interest. But in the absence of significant snowfall, their foliage will break up what would otherwise be a drab expanse of white, gray and brown during the winter months. Golden Carpet is a ground hugging juniper groundcover with golden yellow foliage color.
All these ground covers for sun need is full sunshine and sharp drainage. Blue Rug Wiltoni is a very flat growing form of juniper with a nice silvery blue color, and takes on a light "purplish" tinge during winter months. Extremely hardy - adapts to a wide range of soils & conditions. Extremely hardy, nice color in all seasons, good growth rate, drought tolerant - easy to grow! A slightly larger, older size of our popular Size 1 plant. Typically we have these available once or twice per year.
For a different look altogether, try Juniperus horizontalis 'Lime Glow,' which gives you a chartreuse color. The informal outdoor steps in the picture are made of landscape timbers.

Creeping junipers rarely stretch above a foot or so tall, but they make an outsized impact. While every effort has been made to describe these plants accurately, please keep in mind that height, bloom time, and color may differ in various climates. The description of these plants has been written based on numerous outside resources. Creeping juniper quickly becomes huge- those spots aren’t the best for it as you’ll continuously have to clip it. How long have the junipers been in the ground? If well established they might not transplant that well.
At the very least, they should be pollution-tolerant. And in case you don't have a chance to water this area of the yard, it's helpful if they're also drought-tolerant ground covers. Creeping junipers can fit the bill on both counts. To enroll in paperless for your account, start by reading the terms and conditions below.
