Sargent Juniper | Plant Profile

Sargent Juniper (Juniperus chinensis var. sargentii) are needled evergreen conifers. These are creeping shrubs that grow significantly wider than tall. The blue/green leaves are aromatic, producing the familiar evergreen fragrance.

Sargent Juniper prefers average fertility, medium moisture, well drained soils in full sun. Once established, these shrubs can be tolerant of some drought, air pollution, and a wide range of soils. Do not plant in wet or saturated soils.

Sargent Juniper are groundcover shrubs that often cover hillsides or slopes. They can help with erosion control in areas with poor soils. They are a low maintenance option for flat or sloped areas near structures.
