MOTHER LODE JUNIPER

Juniperus horizontalis 'Mother Lode' is commonly referred to as Mother Lode Juniper. It is a very low growing, creeping groundcover that almost lays flat to the ground. It has a uniform appearance and only reaches 3-6 inches tall with a spread of 3 feet. It features brilliant gold, scale-like sprays of foliage in spring and summer that change to bronze and orange in fall. In winter foliage turns a rich plum and burgundy color. It is perfect for cascading over a bank, rocks or stonework.

Mother Lode Juniper is deer resistant and thrives in full sun in average, sandy, well-drained soils. It will not tolerate standing water. It can be drought tolerant once established. It is tolerant of urban pollution and can thrive in city environments.

Planting Tips ⓘ

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in well-draining soil, selecting a location that receives full sun to ensure the best foliage color and density. These evergreen shrubs are incredibly durable and heat-tolerant, though they require consistent water during the first season until the root system is well established; thereafter, they are notably drought-tolerant.

Prune as needed in late winter or early spring to manage size or remove dead wood, but avoid aggressive shearing that exposes the inner woody stems. Apply a layer of organic mulch around the root zone to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, taking care to keep the material a few inches away from the crown to prevent stem rot.
