Creeping Juniper, scientifically known as Juniperus horizontalis, is a low-growing evergreen shrub native to North America. It typically features needle-like leaves that are green in summer and can turn a purplish hue in winter. This plant is often used in landscaping for ground cover due to its ability to spread and form dense mats. Creeping Juniper thrives in well-drained soils and is drought-tolerant, making it suitable for various climates. It is commonly found in rocky or sandy areas and can tolerate poor soil conditions. This hardy plant is also resistant to pests and diseases, making it a popular choice for gardens and landscapes.
