Planting & Care

1. Planting: Start by choosing an area with full sun and well-drained soil for your Green Mound Juniper. Any planting area that receives 6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day is ideal. With fertilizer and mulching, the Green Mound will grow in a variety of soil types. But we do recommend placing your Green Mound Junipers about 3 feet apart for best results.

To plant yours, dig a hole deep enough to cover its root ball. After placing your Green Mound, tamp down the soil while backfilling to avoid air pockets. Finally, mulch around the surrounding soil and water your Green Mound to settle the roots.

2. Watering: Once established, the Green Mound is drought tolerant, but it’s important to have a regular watering schedule. It responds well to weekly watering. You may water more in times of drought or less in seasons with heavy rainfall. But if you’re not sure when to water your Green Mound, simply check the soil – about 2 or 3 inches down. If the soil is dry here, it’s time to water.

3. Fertilizing: Fertilize your Green Mound in early spring and again in mid fall. We recommend using an organic granular or water-soluble fertilizer for best growth.

4. Pruning: Pruning isn’t required for your Green Mound Juniper, but if you’d like to shape it, it responds well to shearing.
