How to Use Calgary Carpet® Juniper in the Landscape

Control erosion with a collection of groundcover Junipers rushing down the length of a slope. Use this variety near the base of the slope as a transition plant.

You'll love the consistency of color, but the variance of form will be thrilling. Include Kallay's Compact or Sea Green for height. Use Saybrook Gold to make a showy highlight, and Andorra for a rich, purple-bronze winter color.

These rugged plants can become a mainstay in a unique, care-free garden feature. Plant them four to six feet apart on center, measuring from the center of one to the center of the next.

For faster coverage, plant closer together. Or, select the largest container size we have in stock to gain a big head's start.

Mulch between plants, taking care not to cover the branches. Pull mulch back away from the main stems.

Add staggered rows to create a solid sea of green. Keep newly installed mass plantings weeded while they grow together and touch.

Even on a flat lot, you can enjoy their handsome good looks. Go modern with a dedicated series of rectangular planting beds filled with Calgary Carpet.

Use at the top of harsh retaining walls. You'll be thrilled to see the new growth cascade down in a very effective presentation...like a "living waterfall"!

Add on the sunny side of Red Twigged Dogwood shrubs. Include Ornamental Grasses in your planting for an outstanding winter display.

Calgary Carpet also makes a terrific partner for perennials in a long border. You'll have some color to relish in the dead of winter.

#ProPlantTips for Care

This dependable selection grows in baking-hot, all-day full sun. Provide at least six hours of sunlight a day.

Well-drained soils are a must. Elevate the planting in a mound of additional soil if you need to improve the rate at which water is shed after a rainfall.

Dry soils are fine, after your Calgary Carpet Juniper is well-established in your soil. Give careful water the first year to support the developing root system.

Prune in early spring, if desired. Lift the end of a branch up and snip back to a point. You'll shorten up that growth without affecting the form of the plant.

If you live with deer in your area, apply repellent spray on the day you plant. Reapply as directed by the label.
