How to Use Moonglow Juniper In The Landscape
For structural and architectural garden presence, Moonglow is a radiant backbone for your garden beds and borders. Moonglow is conducive to pruning so these dramatically colored plants can be used for topiary.

The soothing color highlights everything planted before it! Especially blue, purple, yellow, and pink plants! Pair in a monochromatic garden among other silvery blue-green foliage for an amazing display!
An alternating double row of Moonglow and Blue Arrow Junipers fringed in Blue Star or Grey Owl Junipers, creating an intriguing and formal privacy hedge that will boost curb appeal big time!
A narrow growing specimen and focal point on its own, plant Moonglow among other evergreen plantings, perennial beds or your mixed-shrub borders.
Use as anchoring plants for your garden beds and foundation plantings like a silvery exclamation point standing out among the rest of the green! Zen gardens highlight these symmetrically growing, uniquely hued trees and they add sound, motion, and relaxing solitude to your meditation nooks.
Perfect for screening and hedging, you and that neighbor you're looking to hide, will both benefit from the opulent color and privacy! Use as "Living Walls" for Outdoor Garden Rooms and add tranquil seclusion!
Deer resistant, you'll have no worry about using these en masse, as windbreak and shelterbelts, or as perimeter plantings to frame and define your property in style! Birds will appreciate the habitat and shelter!
Salt tolerant, coastal areas and that 'hell strip' along the road will not be an issue for Moonglow. Plus highly urban environment tolerant, Moonglow really does shine along the road for slim privacy that won't take up much space.
#ProPlantTips For Care
Moonglow Juniper is an amazingly cold hardy and rugged tree! Also known as Colorado Redcedar, these evergreens are an adaptable, drought-tolerant selection of the native species. Thriving in USDA hardiness zones of 4 through 7.
Full sun trees, Moonglow grows to about 18' tall, making them suitable under power lines. Slower growing, but long-lived, they're in it for the long haul!
Native, hardy Junipers are tolerant of both moist and dry locations, they will require well-drained soil! Junipers are great for Xeriscaping due to their low water needs and display high tolerance to urban pollution.
Adaptable to a wide range of soil types, the root system easily handles any well-drained medium. Alkaline, acidic, or even poor, gravel soil, salt, pollution, and drought, Moonglow can thrive in any condition except soggy soil.
Not minding dry conditions, it is best to protect your investment by providing supplemental watering in extreme heat and in extended periods of drought. Fertilize with an organic, slow-release fertilizer in spring and a light mulching around the root system will insulate it from heat and cold.
For amazing structure, dramatic color, and fabulous versatility, take aim at the amazing Moonglow Juniper Tree! The slim profile and high style will easily find a home in your landscape!
