Sea Green Juniper
Sea Green Juniper is a compact evergreen shrub valued for rich green foliage, graceful arching branches, and dependable year-round structure. Its fountain-like form brings soft texture to sunny foundations, low screens, slopes, mixed borders, and evergreen landscape groupings.
Why choose Sea Green Juniper?
Choose Sea Green Juniper for a polished evergreen that offers soft texture and graceful shape without feeling stiff or formal. Its arching branches create a natural fountain-like habit, making it useful as a foundation accent, low hedge, specimen shrub, or repeating evergreen in larger beds. The foliage remains attractive through winter, giving landscapes lasting color and structure when deciduous plants are bare.
Key Characteristics

- Common Name: Sea Green Juniper
- Plant Type: Evergreen shrub
- Growth Habit: Compact, spreading shrub with fountain-like arching branches
Sea Green Juniper Additional Information
Sea Green Juniper forms a broad, rounded evergreen shrub with arching green branches that create a distinctive layered look. Mature plants commonly reach about 4–6 feet tall and 6–8 feet wide, though size can vary depending on growing conditions and pruning. Its evergreen foliage provides steady color through winter, making it a strong choice for foundation beds, privacy plantings, evergreen borders, and mixed shrub groupings.
This juniper does not produce showy flowers, but mature female plants may develop small berry-like cones that add subtle seasonal interest. Sea Green Juniper is best planted in full sun with well-drained soil and enough space for its natural spread. Pruning is usually minimal, but light shaping in early spring can help maintain a tidy outline while preserving the plant’s graceful fountain-like form.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Select a location with full sun and well-drained soil. Plant at the same depth as it was growing in the container and provide enough space for its mature spread.
2. Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to encourage root establishment. After establishment, water during extended dry periods to maintain healthy growth.
3. Mulching: Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the root zone to help retain moisture and moderate soil temperatures. Keep mulch a few inches away from the stems.
4. Pruning: Prune lightly as needed to maintain shape or remove damaged branches. Its natural arching habit generally requires only occasional maintenance.
