Its colouring makes this dwarf conifer stand out in rockeries and other sunny or partially shady parts of the garden. Alternatively, the Chinese Juniper can be grown as a specimen plant or tree. Like most Sabinas, it is slow-growing, but requires little maintenance once mature. The plant is therefore a useful and long-lasting hardy shrub. Height: 1.2m (3'11). Spread: 1m (3'3).
As a strong structual element in the garden, this upright Chinese Juniper with its steely blue, prickly foliage is a real winner. Its evergreen foliage provides all-year interest, and it bears small and distinctive violet-brown fruits. What's more, it needs virtually no maintenance. Juniperus chinensis 'Blue Alps' has aromatic foliage which smells a little like gin. A few sprigs thrown on the bonfire or used to light the barbeque, create a wonderfully rich and spicy scent.

Does besting cool, well-drained spots -avoid wet roots in winter.Top Tips- Avoid full sun and wet feet in winter.Care Guide- Although hardy to -10°C, young leaves can be damaged by frost, although they will grow back. Provide protection if frost threatens to prevent damage.- Grow in a sheltered area in sun or light dappled shade. South to south-west facing is ideal.- Loropetalum prefers a slightly acidic, humus-rich soil that retains moisture so add ericaceous compost to the planting hole or grow in a container.- Keep well-watered.- Like clematis, Chinese witch hazel likes to have cool roots, so grow it were the roots are likely to be shaded, such as among perennials or cover the area with a thick mulch of gravel.- In the colder parts of the country (i.e. where temperatures are likely to drop below -10C), Loropetalum should be treated as tender and kept in a large terracotta container that can be brought in for the winter.Planting Time:February - NovemberFlowering Time:October - MarchAbout You GardenEstablished for over 50 years, our award winning trusted plant supplier are based in South Lincolnshire.
