Juniperus Chinensis 'Echiniformis'
Common Name: Juniper 'Echiniformis'
Juniperus chinensis ‘Echiniformis’ — commonly called Echiniformis Chinese juniper — is a dwarf evergreen shrub valued for its dense, finely textured blue-green foliage and compact rounded habit. Short, closely packed branchlets create a tight cushion-like form, making it especially useful where small-scale evergreen structure is needed. Type: Evergreen shrub Mature Size: Width: 2–3 ft Height: 1–2 ft USDA Zones: 4a–8b Form: Low, dense, cushion-like, rounded Light: Full sun Soil: Well-drained soil; adaptable to sandy, rocky, and average garden soils Water: Low to medium; drought tolerant once established Wildlife: Provides shelter for birds; deer resistant Features & Landscape Uses: Excellent for rock gardens, troughs, borders, foundation edges, and small evergreen groupings. Its compact form provides year-round texture with very little maintenance. Care: Plant in full sun for best density and foliage color. Avoid poorly drained soils. Minimal pruning is needed; trim lightly only if shaping is desired.
