Plant description
This hardy, low-growing conifer is valued for its striking lime-green foliage that shifts to warm bronze-pink tones in winter, adding seasonal interest to borders at the darkest time of year.
With a creeping, mat-forming habit, Juniperus horizontalis 'Limeglow' is ideal for rockeries, alpine gardens, or as ground cover. Its arching branches create texture and vibrancy, making it an excellent choice for mixed borders or containers.
Thriving in well-drained soils, including sandy or chalky types, it performs best in sunny or lightly shaded spots and is easy to care for, needing minimal maintenance, once established, to showcase its dramatic year-round colour.

How to care for Juniperus horizontalis Limeglow:
Choose a site with well-drained soil, ideally slightly acidic, and a sunny position to encourage vibrant growth and colour.
Avoid waterlogged areas, as junipers are drought-tolerant once established but dislike overly wet conditions. Mulch around the base of the plant in late winter with organic material like bark or wood chips, keeping the mulch clear of the crown to prevent rot.
Pruning is rarely needed, but you can remove any wayward or damaged shoots in autumn to maintain the plant’s natural symmetry. Ensure plenty of space for the plant to spread and develop its natural shape without overcrowding.
