Spreading, tough evergreen groundcover, the Buffalo Juniper bush (Juniperus sabina 'Buffalo') has soft, feathery, bright green foliage on low spreading branches that produces an interesting form! Compact and hardy, these popular shrubs fill your landscape with year-round color.
Buffalo Juniper's feathery branches are of bright silvery green foliage and its color is retained all winter! Durable and resilient, once the cold weather approaches, the evergreen foliage turns a plum-tinged bronze for the winter months
Resistant to deer, rabbits, and pests, making Buffalo Junipers a low-maintenance choice for any gardener. Hardy throughout USDA planting zones 3 to 7, these cold-hardy shrubs spread 3-5 feet wide and only reach 12-15 inches in height at maturity!
Landscape Application:
Junipers are important evergreens for landscape use due to their ability to withstand a variety of unfavorable soil conditions, their hardiness, and their great variation in size, habit, color, and growth rate!
Plant these tough plants in the Rock garden, in Xeric sites, and en masse to fill large areas in greenery all year long. Blocking weeds, slowing rainwater runoff, and slowing erosion on hillsides, Buffalo is an excellent groundcover plant! Transform a hard-to-mow hillside into verdant greenery, and create drifts of ever-greenery atop retaining walls or before your hardscapes.
Line your driveway or the sidewalk with rugged low-growing greenery, or fill bare ground with large-scale plantings. Grow Buffalo Junipers in pots and urns or as spillers among your mixed planters on your porches and patios!
- Bright Blue-Green Foliage All Growing Season
- Purple-Bronze Fall & Winter Color
- Low-Growing Spreading Evergreen
- Fantastic Groundcover With Soft Foliage
- Block Weeds, Cover Ground, Erosion Control & Mass Plantings
#ProPlantTips for Care:
This Juniper prefers sun and well-drained soil but tolerates a range of soil types, tolerating both drought and heat, cold and rocky soil. Provide regular moisture access at first, but once established, your Junipers become drought-tolerant and low-maintenance! All plants appreciate a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch around their roots to retain moisture and insulate them all year round! Prune these shrubs in the spring after the first flush of growth, snipping back any wayward branches as needed.
- Full Sun Evergreens
- Any Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate to Low Moisture Needs
- Prune In Spring
- Heat & Cold Tolerant
- Deer Seldom Bother Juniper Unless Desperate
Truly versatile! The rugged and low-growing groundcover Buffalo Juniper Bush will spread into the nooks and crannies of your garden while spreading its beautiful soft greenery! Order now at Nature Hills Nursery!
