The Bar Harbor Juniper is a popular, fast-spreading evergreen groundcover, prized for its soft, feathery, blue-gray foliagethat takes on attractivepurple tonesin winter. It forms a dense, low mat, typically reaching only 6-12 inches in height but spreading 5-7 feet wide.

This cultivar isextremely hardy, drought-tolerant, and salt-tolerant, making it an excellent choice for coastal or harsh, exposed sites. It thrives in full sun and well-drained, sandy or poor soils. Its vigorous, trailing growth makes it ideal forerosion control on banks, mass plantings, and cascading over walls.
