Spartan Juniper
Juniperus chinensis 'Spartan'
Spartan Juniper is grown for its foliage rather than flowers, giving the garden structure and color all season long.
This entry comes from our curated library and has not yet been independently checked against outside sources. Curated is not unreliable: a standing audit keeps every entry internally consistent, and the source-by-source check is working through the whole library in the open.
Growing Spartan Juniper
Plant it in full sun. It prefers low water. It is hardy in USDA zones 4–9. Expect it to reach about 15 ft tall and 3.9 ft wide at maturity, in roughly 12 years.
When to plant Spartan Juniper
Plant Spartan Juniper in spring once the soil is workable, or by very early fall at the latest: an evergreen needs its roots down well before the ground freezes. For the middle of its hardy zones 4 to 9 range, that is March to May, or August on the fall side.
Month-by-month timing for your zone is on the planting calendar: for the middle of its range, start with zone 6 in March.
