Overview

The Andorra Juniper (Juniperus horizontalis 'Plumosa'), a low-growing conifer, offers year-round visual interest. Its feathery, dense foliage emerges green and transitions to a plum-purple in winter. Hardy in zones 3-9, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and tolerates dry soil once established. Maintenance is minimal, with mature sizes reaching 12-18 inches high and 4-6 feet wide, perfect for ground cover or rock gardens.
