Juniperus ‘Holger’ – 2 Litre

Juniperus ‘Holger’ is a compact, evergreen conifer valued for its attractive, dense foliage and versatile garden appeal. This low-growing juniper features vibrant, needle-like leaves that emerge in a rich green color, often taking on a bluish tint in colder months. Its rounded, spreading form makes it an excellent choice for ground cover, rockeries, or as an accent plant in mixed borders. ‘Holger’ also provides year-round interest and structure to garden landscapes.

Best Position: Plant ‘Holger’ in a sunny to partially shaded location to ensure vibrant foliage and robust growth. It prefers well-drained soil, ideally in slightly acidic to neutral conditions. This juniper is tolerant of various soil types and is suited to both garden beds and container planting.

Height: This dwarf variety typically reaches a height of 30-50 cm and spreads up to 1 meter over 5-10 years, making it perfect for small gardens and ground cover applications.

When to Prune: Minimal pruning is required. Lightly trim in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. Avoid heavy pruning, as it may affect the plant’s natural form.

When to Feed: Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support healthy growth. Junipers are generally low-maintenance and do not require frequent feeding.

Flowering Time: Juniperus ‘Holger’ does not produce significant flowers; its primary appeal lies in its evergreen foliage and year-round structural interest.
