Bar Harbor Juniper: Stay Green, Stay Grounded

Bar Harbor Juniper is a rugged, low-growing evergreen that delivers year-round color with almost no fuss. Its dense, spreading habit quickly fills bare spaces, making it an excellent choice for ground cover, rock gardens, slopes, borders, and mass plantings.

Soft blue-green foliage provides year-round texture before developing rich purple tones in fall and winter, creating seasonal interest long after many plants have gone dormant. Small bluish berries appear in late summer, adding subtle ornamental appeal while attracting birds and other wildlife.

This hardy evergreen is exceptionally low maintenance, requiring only occasional light pruning in late spring if shaping is desired. Deer resistance and excellent cold hardiness make it a reliable landscape performer for a wide range of climates.
