One of the main features of conifers is their ability to purify the air from pathogens and bacteria, saturating it with aromas of coniferous essential oils. The cypress family in parks, gardens and squares is a magnificent evergreen dwarf plant - juniper.
Creeping shrub, growing to a height of not more than 1-1.5 meters, rather crawls on the ground than stretches up. Its homeland is the Eastern Himalayas and the mountainous regions of China. It forms dense thickets and is a magnificent ornamental plant. In total, there are about 70 varieties of juniper, and each of them is beautiful and unique in its own way. All junipers in the shape of needles are divided into scaly and needle-shaped. However, there are varieties combining both forms.
Description
Juniper scaly Blue Carpet, also belonging to the group of flat-growing shrubs, is one of the brightest representatives of this family.
This plant was bred in 1972 by Dutch breeders from the Meyeri cultivar and four years later it was recognized at a specialized exhibition for its decorative qualities. Juniper Blue Carpet received a
gold medal. He has a beautiful needle-shaped pointed needles up to one centimeter long in a delicate silver-blue hue. Crohn, like all creeping shrubs, resembles a shapeless pillow up to 2.5 meters wide in diameter. Juniper growth rate is approximately 8 to 10 centimeters per year. However, Juniper Blue Carpet, unlike other representatives of creeping shrubs, grows to a height of no more than 60 centimeters. He is very fond of gardeners and landscape designers for their unpretentiousness and complaisant nature. The plant easily tolerates circumcision and is easily restored in a short time, forming an even denser crown. High decorative properties make it a regular in city gardens and squares. Parks where representatives of the cypress family grow, are most popular among the townspeople, cleansing their body with their aroma and relieving stress and depression.
Landing and care
Juniper Blue Carpet is a fast-growing shrub that prefers sunny and semi-shaded areas. In the shade of other trees, he loses his beauty and attractiveness. It is worth considering that in order to avoid damage to the needles, it is not recommended to plant it in places where the formation of high snowdrifts is possible in the winter. This juniper variety is not picky about soil, but on enriched, fertile soils in the absence of stagnant water, it grows most lush and attractive. Juniper Blue Carpet enjoys well-deserved love and is used by designers to design
alpine slides, to decorate slopes. It looks great both in group and single landing. Perfectly adjacent to roses. These shrubs look great at home. With proper care and circumcision, cypresses will make a good competition to the usual indoor
decorative plants.
