Juniperus horizontalis Copper Harbor

Juniperus horizontalis ‘Copper Harbor’ is a cold-hardy creeping juniper selected for its rich copper-bronze winter color and dense, ground-hugging habit. During the growing season, foliage appears blue-green before deepening to warm copper tones as temperatures drop. This cultivar thrives in full sun and well-drained soil and is extremely tolerant of wind, cold, and poor soils. Hardy in USDA Zones 3–8, it spreads gradually to form a durable evergreen groundcover ideal for slopes, rock gardens, and erosion control.
