Vibrant Groundcover with Year-Round Color
The Lime Glow Juniper is a low-growing, spreading evergreen shrub prized for its bright chartreuse foliage that intensifies to a glowing lime hue in cooler months. Its dense, mat-forming habit makes it perfect for groundcover, slopes, and borders, helping to prevent erosion while adding striking color to your landscape throughout the year. This hardy juniper thrives in full sun and adapts well to various soil types, requiring minimal maintenance once established.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Choose a location with full sun and well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice as wide and as deep as the root ball. Gently loosen the roots, place the tree in the hole, and backfill with native soil. Water thoroughly after planting and apply mulch to retain soil moisture.
2. Watering: During the first growing season, water regularly to help the plant establish a strong root system. Once established, Lime Glow is highly drought-tolerant and will only need occasional deep watering during prolonged dry spells. Avoid overwatering or allowing the soil to remain soggy.
3. Fertilizing: Feed in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer formulated for evergreens. Fertilizing once per year is usually sufficient.
