Juniper - Bar Harbor
Blue Grey Land Wave
Juniper - Bar Harbor, Juniperus horizontalis 'Bar Harbor', is a creeping juniper that features blue-gray foliage in summer and then changes to purple in the winter.
The Bar Harbor's chameleon-like leaves have long, sharp points that come in pairs or threes when juvenile, and then become more scale-like or flat when they are adult.
'Bar Harbor' has a moderate growth rate and gets about 1' tall and grows to 3'-8' in width making it a nice choice to use for a groundcover.
It grows in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun. Bar Harbor adapts to a wide range of soils, but prefers a dryish, sandy soil.
It tolerates hot, relatively dry growing conditions, somewhat poor soils and many city air pollutants. It is intolerant of wet soils.
