Evergreen hedges are often very formal. You see clipped Boxwoods or stout Hollies everywhere. The Sea Green Juniper bucks that trend.

Sea Green Juniper is a compact shrub with a beautiful fountain-like, arching habit and soft foliage. It is a true evergreen, actually getting darker green in the deepest part of winter when it really stands out in your landscape.

This isn't a super-fast grower, but will eventually get pretty large, so plant accordingly. Sea Green Juniper is tolerant of many soils and weather conditions, though, so it makes a great shrub wherever you put it. It does best in well-drained soil and full sun.

Sea Green Juniper looks great in a group, but consider using it as a specimen plant in your perennial border or rock garden. It looks great against the foundation of the house, too, softening hard edges like stairs and decks.

If you are looking for something for a commercial spot like a parking lot, this juniper weathers urban pollution like a champ. Try it by a driveway or fence line for a clean but natural look.
