Juniperus media ' Mint Julep' - Shrub - Height 30-60cm - 10lt

Juniperus media 'Mint Julep' is an excellent evergreen shrub for gardens needing reliable year-round structure, colour, and low-maintenance performance. Its graceful arching branches and bright mint-green foliage create a soft, flowing appearance that contrasts beautifully with flowering shrubs, perennials, and ornamental grasses. The dense habit makes it especially useful as a specimen plant, informal hedge, screen, or ground-covering feature on banks and slopes.

This hardy conifer is highly adaptable and thrives in full sun where foliage colour remains freshest and growth stays compact. It prefers well-drained soil but tolerates a wide range of soil types, including sandy, chalky, and poorer ground once established. It is also drought tolerant, making it a strong choice for dry gardens, gravel landscapes, and low-water planting schemes.

Juniperus 'Mint Julep' requires very little maintenance beyond occasional shaping if needed. Its naturally spreading form makes it valuable for suppressing weeds and reducing upkeep in larger borders. The evergreen foliage also provides shelter for wildlife and visual interest throughout winter when many other plants are dormant.

Ideal for contemporary, formal, or naturalistic gardens, this versatile shrub suits mixed borders, entrance planting, rockeries, and urban settings. With toughness, attractive colour, and dependable habit, it is a practical and handsome addition to many garden styles.
