Bar Harbor Juniper (Juniperus horizontalis 'Bar Harbor') A hardy, low-growing evergreen shrub ideal for USDA Zones 3-9. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, it adapts well to a range of soil pH (5.5 - 8.0) and prefers well-draining soils, from sandy to rocky types, tolerating poor, dry conditions. It reaches 1 foot in height and spreads 3-5 feet within the first five years, eventually maturing to 1-2 feet tall with a 6-8 foot spread. With moderate growth and excellent drought, wind, and salt tolerance, it?s a great choice for coastal gardens, erosion control, and rock gardens. Bar Harbor Juniper requires minimal maintenance and only light pruning in late spring if shaping is desired. It is deer-resistant and has excellent cold hardiness. It should be planted in areas with good drainage to prevent root rot. The blue-green foliage develops attractive purple hues in fall and winter, adding seasonal interest, while small bluish berries in late summer attract wildlife. This juniper?s resilience, low water needs, and compact, sprawling habit make it ideal for mass plantings, ground cover, borders, and slope stabilization. *Pots may be removed prior to shipping Free Shipping to most locations.
