| Botanical Name | Juniperus procumbens 'Green Mound' |
| Description | A versatile and hardy evergreen groundcover that excels in the Willis and Houston metro area. 'Green Mound' is prized for its tight, mounding habit and its ability to maintain a vibrant green color throughout the year. It is highly effective for erosion control on slopes or cascading over retaining walls. To thrive in our local heavy clay, it requires excellent drainage; planting in a raised bed or a gravel-amended site is essential to prevent root rot. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Essential for maintaining dense, tight growth) |
| Height x Width | 1 ft. Tall x 4-6 ft. Wide |
| Water | Low once established. Very drought-tolerant, but must have sharp drainage to survive Houston's heavy rain events. |
| Zones | 4 - 9 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to encourage healthy, steady growth. |
| Pruning | Minimal pruning required. You can trim the edges in late winter if needed to maintain size or to clear paths. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
