Juniperus Communis Green Carpet

Juniperus communis 'Green Carpet' – A Low-Growing, Evergreen Groundcover with Rich Green Foliage

Juniperus communis 'Green Carpet', commonly known as Green Carpet Juniper, is a low-growing, evergreen groundcover with dense, vibrant green foliage. Reaching a height of only 60 cm and spreading up to 2 meters, this cultivar is perfect for creating lush, carpet-like coverage in the landscape. Its dense, needle-like leaves provide year-round interest, maintaining a rich green hue throughout all seasons, making it an excellent choice for adding texture and color to the garden floor.

This versatile juniper is ideal for use as a groundcover, in rock gardens, along slopes, or as an accent in mixed plantings. Its sprawling, spreading habit helps control erosion on slopes, while its low-growing nature makes it a great option for filling in gaps between larger plants or as a border plant in low-maintenance landscapes. Hardy and drought-tolerant once established, Juniperus communis 'Green Carpet' is perfect for gardeners seeking a resilient, easy-care solution for covering bare ground and adding evergreen beauty to their space.

Why Grow Juniperus communis 'Green Carpet'?

Low-Growing Groundcover – With a height of just 60cm , it’s perfect for filling in areas of the garden with lush, evergreen foliage that stays vibrant year-round.

Spreading Habit – It spreads up to 1.5m, allowing it to cover large areas, making it ideal for slopes, borders, or as a groundcover between other plants.

Drought-Tolerant – Once established, Juniperus communis 'Green Carpet' is highly drought-tolerant, requiring minimal water and making it an excellent choice for xeriscaping or low-water gardens.

Low Maintenance – This hardy juniper is easy to care for, requiring little pruning or attention, making it ideal for gardeners seeking a hassle-free groundcover that adds both beauty and function to the landscape.

Evergreen Foliage – The rich green foliage remains vibrant throughout the year, providing year-round interest, texture, and colour to garden beds, pathways, and other outdoor spaces.

Planting & Care Guide

Position: Prefers full sun to partial shade. While it thrives in full sunlight, it can tolerate some light shade, making it adaptable to various garden settings.

Soil: Best planted in well-drained soil. It is adaptable to a variety of soil types, including sandy or rocky soil, but it must have good drainage to prevent waterlogging and root rot.

Watering: Water regularly when newly planted to establish strong roots. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and requires less frequent watering. However, it will benefit from occasional watering during extended dry spells.

Maintenance:

Pruning is minimal, but light trimming can be done in early spring to maintain its neat, compact appearance. Remove any dead or damaged branches as needed to keep the plant looking tidy.

Mulching around the base helps retain moisture, keeps the soil temperature stable, and prevents weeds. Apply mulch in the spring or fall to provide added protection during the colder months.

Fertilizing is generally not required for Juniperus communis 'Green Carpet', but a light application of a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring can encourage healthy growth if needed.

Perfect Plant Combinations

Juniperus communis 'Green Carpet' pairs beautifully with other low-growing groundcovers, such as Thymus (Thyme) or Creeping Jenny, to create a diverse, textured carpet effect in garden beds. It also complements larger shrubs and trees, such as Rudbeckia (Black-eyed Susan) or Echinacea (Coneflower), where its rich green foliage contrasts nicely with the vibrant flowers. Additionally, it makes a great addition to rock gardens or along pathways, where its spreading habit softens the edges of stonework or hardscaping elements. The hardy, drought-tolerant nature of this juniper also makes it a perfect companion for other xeriscaping plants like Sedum or Lavender.
