Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements
Container Plant Sizes

The little cousin of the well-known Andorra Juniper, the Compact Andorra Juniper (Juniperus 'Andorra Compacta') is an evergreen shrub often used as a small, space-saving groundcover! Compact Andorra has a low-growing, branching form with a spreading habit and is adaptive to a wide variety of conditions!
Your Compact Andorra Juniper is, just as the name implies, a "compact" version of the popular Andorra Juniper. It is a lovely, low-growing Juniper with a lot to offer! Its fine-textured, evergreen foliage has a delicate, blue-tinted green hue, lending a decorative touch to your landscape.
The foliage transitions throughout the seasons from the bright green of new spring growth to a deeper blue/green summer foliage and a bronze tint for autumn. As autumn progresses, Andorra's foliage takes on a slight purple hue that persists into the winter months.
It's always easy to find a place for Compact Andorra Juniper. This compact, evergreen groundcover will not only fill in those annoying bare spots in your yard but do so in a colorful and hardy manner. Andorra is even long-lived. Under optimal conditions you can expect to enjoy your Compact Andorra Juniper for up to 30 years...so it's even a great gardening investment!
Landscape Application:
Use a few Compact Andorra Juniper Bushes to blanket a barren slope and make hard-to-mow hillsides safer! Fill in around trees or place one as a low-growing accent in your perennial bed, these fringy evergreens are the perfect facer plant and edging to add that finishing touch to your garden design!
Ideal to add as the front of the border along landscape bed edges, or clean up borders between lawn and garden. Andorra Compact Junipers enliven a weary foundation hedge or mixed shrub border, creating a cohesive design by pulling everything together. Mix and match with other Junipers or with its larger cousin for a patchwork of greenery all year round!
Compact Andorra is also ideal for container gardening, becoming a year-round specimen in an urn or a thriller and spiller element in mixed planters and half whiskey barrels. Dress them up or dress them down - you'll be thrilled by their steady presence in your garden, porch, patio, and even balcony garden!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Compact Andorra Junipers tolerate exposed sites and a wide range of soils. Plant in any kind of well-drained soil in full sun. Provide regular moisture their first year in the ground, but once established, Junipers become drought tolerant. Provide a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch around the roots to hold in moisture and enrich the soil. Easily handling urban pollution and city environments, these shrubs even shrug off deer unless they are desperate! Prune in the spring if needed, nipping wayward branches to create a balanced form.
