DESCRIPTION
Juniperus horizontalis ‘Copper Harbor’ is a low, spreading evergreen groundcover with a mat-forming habit and layered horizontal branches. Its scale-like foliage is bright gold to chartreuse through the growing season, then shifts to coppery bronze or warm reddish tones in winter, offering year-round color and winter interest. The branches can root where they contact the ground, helping the plant spread to form dense mats.

As a native North American juniper, it retains traits of drought tolerance and deer resistance. Its combination of evergreen texture, seasonal foliage color change, and low, spreading form makes it ideal for rock gardens, banks, slopes, or foundation plantings where ground-hugging, low-maintenance cover is desired.
