Planting & Care

1. Planting: First, choose an area with full sun and well-drained soil for your Green Mound Juniper. Any area that receives 6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day is ideal. With fertilizer and mulching, it will grow in a variety of soil types. But we do recommend placing your Green Mounds about 3 feet apart for best results.
To plant your Green Mound, dig a hole deep enough to cover its root ball. After placing your plant, tamp down the soil while backfilling to avoid air pockets. Finally, mulch around the surrounding soil and water to settle the roots.

2. Watering: Once established, the Green Mound Juniper is drought tolerant, but it’s important to have a regular watering schedule for best growth. Generally, the Green Mound Juniper responds well to weekly watering. You may water more in times of drought or less in seasons with heavy rainfall. If you’re not sure when to water, though, simply check the soil – about 2 or 3 inches down. If the soil is dry at this depth, it’s time to water.

3. Fertilizing: Fertilize your Green Mound Juniper in early spring and again in mid fall. We recommend using an organic granular or water soluble fertilizer for best results.

4. Pruning: Pruning isn’t required for your Green Mound, but if you’d like to shape it, it responds well to shearing.
