Grey Owl Juniper
type: Product
description: Juniperus virginiana 'Grey Owl' Overview Uses: Bank and slope plantings, low foundation lines, mass plantings on dry ground, wide borders along drives and walks, erosion control. Benefits: Soft silver-gray foliage that holds its color through the entire year, a low wide-spreading frame that covers ground two to three times its own height, and genuine tolerance for drought, salt, poor soil, and deer pressure. USDA Hardiness Zones: 3–9 Sun: Full Sun Life Cycle: Coniferous Shrub Growth Habit: Spreading, Broad-spreading — low horizontal branching from a wide base. Foliage Color: Gray-Green, Silver Mature Height: 2–3 feet Mature Width: 5–6 feet Growth Rate: Moderate Summary Most junipers are green. This one is silver, and it stays silver in February. 'Grey Owl' carries fine, feathery, soft-textured foliage in a pale silver-gray that does not bronze or brown in winter the way many spreading junipers do. Against dark mulch, brick, or a stone wall it reads almost blue in low light. It is the color that sells the plant, and unlike most colored conifers, the color is consistent from the day it goes in the ground. The habit is wide and low — roughly two to three feet tall spreading to five or six feet across, layered in soft horizontal tiers rather than mounding into a dome. That proportion makes it one of the better plants for the awkward strip between a walkway and a wall, or the front of a bed where a standard shrub would be too tall and a perennial too fussy. Underneath the ornamental value it is a working plant. It descends from Eastern red cedar, and it inherited that species' indifference to hard sites: dry, rocky, sandy, alkaline, windswept, road-salted. Once rooted it needs essentially nothing, holds a slope against washing, and deer walk past it. Give it full sun and room to run. It is not a plant to crowd — sheared back repeatedly into a space too small for it, the soft layered structure is the first thing lost. Care Grey Owl Juniper Care Plant in full sun. Six hour…
