About this plant
About this plant
Flaky juniper is a compact conifer with blue-green evergreen needles and a distinctive texture.
Its low, spreading branches form an irregular mound, giving it a natural outline that remains attractive through winter.

Growth & mature size
Growth & mature size
Expect around 10–20 cm of new growth per year after establishment in good conditions. At maturity it typically reaches 1–2 m in height and 1.5–2.5 m in width. Allow room for a spreading, irregular evergreen mound; soil, water, exposure and pruning all influence its final outline.
How to care
How to care
Give it a sunny position with sharp drainage; avoid persistently wet winter soil. Water until established; afterwards, water only in extended dry spells. Apply mature compost or a slow-release evergreen fertiliser once in spring if soil is poor. Trim lightly only where shaping is needed.
