#ProPlantTips for Care

Give them a planting site in full sun. They need at least six hours of sunlight a day, but will happily take more.

Dwarf Japanese Garden Juniper needs sharp drainage and prefers dry, sandy soil. Root rot may occur in wet, poorly drained soils; elevate your planting to improve your drainage, if needed.

Use Nature Hills Root Booster during planting to give your investment life-long support. Our growers swear by this time-tested formula.

Provide consistent moisture for the first season. Once the root system is established in your soil, this becomes a xeriscape plant.

Prune in early spring to contain the edges, if needed. Clip a few of the longest branches all the way back to the main stem.
