ANDORA YOUNGSTOWN JUNIPER
Juniperus horizontalis 'Youngstown' is commonly referred to as Youngstown Juniper or Creeping Juniper. It is a mounding, creeping evergreen that typically grows in rocky or sandy soils on slopes, along cliffs and stream banks. It is a low groundcover that reaches about 20 inches tall and spreads by long trailing branches. Foliage is green to silver-gray during spring and summer, turning purple in winter. Fleshy seed cones (blue berries) generally mature in two years, but may be absent on cultivated plants.
Youngstown Juniper thrives in full sun in average, sandy, well-drained soils. It will not tolerate standing water. It can be drought tolerant once it is established. It is ideal for retaining walls, foundations, and rock gardens. It is ideal for erosion control.

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.
