Juniperus horizontalis ‘Tortuga’ is a low, spreading evergreen groundcover juniper with dense, fine-textured foliage that keeps a tidy, mat-forming look—great for banks, rock gardens, and spilling over walls.
Form & size: Very low, carpet-like habit; ~8–12 in tall, 5–8+ ft spread over time.
Foliage: Soft, scale-like blue-green in spring–summer; often takes on plum/bronze tones in winter.
Light: Full sun for best color and density (tolerates light shade).
Soil & water: Prefers well-drained soils; drought-tolerant once established; avoid wet, heavy clay.
Hardiness: USDA Zones 3–9; good wind and salt tolerance (coastal/roadside friendly).
Uses: Erosion control on slopes, large-area groundcover, between boulders, cascading over walls.
Care & resistance: Low maintenance; occasional edging to contain spread; generally deer-resistant and urban-tough.
All plants come with a regular black nursery pot
