Juniperus chinensis ‘Green Sargent’ — commonly called Green Sargent juniper — is an evergreen shrub valued for its dense, spreading habit and rich green foliage that forms layered horizontal branching. Its broad, low growth creates a durable evergreen mass with strong year-round texture, making it useful for groundcover effects and erosion control.

Its wide spread makes it effective for covering large areas with low maintenance. Care: Plant in full sun for best density. Avoid wet soils. Minimal pruning is needed; trim lightly in early spring if shaping is desired.
