Growing Zones 3-7
Choose an evergreen selection for structure, texture, and color all year long! For a showy look in a very low-growing conifer, select the Calgary Carpet® Juniper (Juniperus sabina 'Monna'), which features bright green foliage that is nice and soft. No need for gloves when handling this "pricker-less" variety!
But easy-care doesn't have to be boring or staid. Narrow sprays of scale-like foliage of the Calgary Carpet® are held in a layered branching habit.
It has a wonderfully undulating appearance that adds a tremendous amount of visual interest. Create a wind-tossed ocean of green to soothe your spirit at home and to draw eyes to your commercial properties. These rugged plants can become a mainstay in a unique, carefree garden feature.
Low, mounding Calgary Carpet® is one of the easiest plants to grow, and handles rough conditions with ease. Put your mower away and enjoy a well-deserved retreat in your landscape.
Hardy throughout a wide range of environments and climates, this Juniper grows best in USDA planting zones 3 to 7. Forming a wide-spreading 8 to 10 feet in width but only reaching 6-9 inches tall, Calgary Carpet® can be kept trimmed or even used in Bonsai! It's that versatile!
Landscape Application:
Adding a durable groundcover to your landscape will increase the value of your property and is certainly a safer choice than turf on sloping land! Control erosion with a collection of groundcover Junipers rushing down the length of a slope. Use this variety near the base of the slope as a transition plant.
You'll also welcome their unique ability to drape and sweep around the base of landscaping rocks and over the top of retaining walls. Use at the top of harsh retaining walls. You'll be thrilled to see the new growth cascade down in a very effective presentation...like a "living waterfall"! Ground and soften your hardscape with these outstanding carpet Junipers!
Even on a flat lot, you can enjoy their handsome good looks. Go modern with a dedicated series of rectangular planting beds filled with Calgary Carpet®.
You may be surprised how relaxing a solid mat of these highly textured plants will be. Plant them four to six feet apart on center, measuring from the center of one to the center of the next. For faster coverage, plant closer together. Or, select the largest container size we have in stock to gain a big head start. Mulch between plants, taking care not to cover the branches. Pull mulch back away from the main stems.
There is a reason Asian Zen Gardens rely on form and texture, not flowers, after all! You'll love the consistency of color, but the variance of form will be thrilling! Include Kallay's Compact or Sea Green for height. Use Saybrook Gold to make a showy highlight, and Andorra for a rich, purple-bronze winter color! Calgary Carpet® also makes a terrific partner for perennials in a long border. You'll have some color to relish in the dead of winter!
It works beautifully on both large-scale properties and in small-space gardening. Whether you are just getting started, or have many years of experience under your belt, leverage low-maintenance plants like Calgary Carpet® Juniper to gift yourself time back in your weekend.

#ProPlantTips for Care:
This dependable selection grows in baking-hot, all-day full sun. Provide at least six hours of sunlight a day! Well-drained soils are a must! Elevate the planting in a mound of additional soil if you need to improve the rate at which water is shed after a rainfall. All plants appreciate a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch around their roots to retain moisture and insulate them all year round!
Give careful water the first year to support the developing root system. Dry soils are fine and after your Calgary Carpet® Juniper is well-established in your soil, it becomes quite drought-tolerant! Prune in early spring, if desired. Lift the end of a branch up and snip back to a point. You'll shorten wayward growth without affecting the form of the plant.
