Bar Harbor Juniper

When you need a tough, low-maintenance groundcover that looks great year-round, Bar Harbor Juniper delivers. This classic creeping juniper hugs the ground with a dense, spreading mat of steel-blue foliage that takes on attractive purple-plum tones in winter — giving you color even in the coldest months.

Named for the rugged Maine coastline where it was originally collected, Bar Harbor is built to handle harsh conditions — salt spray, wind, drought, poor soils — while staying evergreen and tidy with virtually no maintenance. It's one of the most reliable groundcover junipers available for slopes, banks, and open areas where mowing isn't practical.
