{"title":"Juniper (Juniperus)","description":"\u003cp\u003eJuniperus, commonly called Juniper, is an evergreen conifer group valued for durable year round color, drought tolerance, and versatile forms that work as groundcovers, foundation shrubs, and screening accents. Our Juniper collection includes low, spreading types that carpet slopes and suppress weeds, mounding forms that add texture in mixed beds, and upright selections that create narrow evergreen punctuation in tighter spaces. Foliage ranges from rich green to steel blue and silvery tones, holding color through winter and pairing easily with flowering shrubs, ornamental grasses, and stonework for a clean, finished look. Junipers perform best in full sun with well drained soil and are especially reliable in lean sites, windy exposures, and landscapes where low maintenance structure matters. Use junipers to stabilize slopes, define bed lines, build evergreen massing, or create a long lasting focal point with tough, water wise performance.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"jnpcmcm16036","title":"JUNIPER COM.

Strong, outward sweeping branches create a layered, horizontal form that softens walls, slopes, and foundations while tying plantings together.

This gives the shrub a soft yet substantial presence that looks clean and full without heavy pruning.

Naturally pyramidal and space saving, it grows into a tall, shimmering column that brings year round color and structure to sunny landscapes. The fine textured sprays of foliage hold tight to the branches from top to bottom, so the plant reads as a solid, luminous spire and an instant focal point in both residential and commercial plantings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDistinctive Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoonglow Rocky Mountain Juniper typically matures as a slim, pyramidal tree, often reaching 15 to 20 feet tall and about 4 to 6 feet wide, depending on climate and site. The foliage is a rich silver blue to blue green that holds its color well through winter, rather than bronzing heavily, which keeps plantings looking fresh in the off season. Dense branching and a strong central leader create a full outline with very little openness or bare wood, even as the plant ages.
