Spartan Juniper – 7 Gallon Pot (3-4′)

Need a tall privacy screen but have limited space to work with? The Spartan Juniper might just be your plant. A very tough but handsome plant, and no trimming or pruning needed to keep its dense form. Spartan grows quite fast (up to 18 inches a year) and has an upright, narrow columnar growth habit that tapers toward the top. Guess you could say it has a shape much like the Washington Monument. It’s a handsome evergreen conifer with beautiful, dark mint green foliage year round with no winter discoloration and the texture is very similar to that of Torulosa Juniper, though with a slightly softer feel to the foliage. 

Growing up to 15 feet tall with a narrow width to only 3 to 4 feet, the Spartan Juniper is ideal for use as a privacy screen or hedge where space is limited. Also effective to fill narrow spaces in home foundation plantings or as a specimen anywhere in the sunny landscape. A fine addition to conifer gardens, rock gardens and the Xeriscape (low water needs).

Spacing:  3′ for solid hedges and privacy screens;  8′ or more for space between plants
