Zulauf Common Juniper

The columnar juniper is botanically known as Juniperus communis 'Sentinel'. This plant is an ideal choice for ornamental gardens and is characterized by its elegant, columnar growth form, which creates a distinctive structure in the garden. It prefers well-drained soils that effectively shed excess water, as it should generally be kept dry. This trait makes it particularly low-maintenance and reduces the need for watering.

The plant is evergreen, so it brings structure and color to the garden year-round with its striking blue-green needle foliage. It thrives in both partially shaded and sunny locations, allowing for flexible placement in the garden. Additionally, it is frost-resistant and can easily withstand cold winters, making it a reliable companion for all seasons.

Thanks to its low maintenance requirements, this plant is excellent for beginners. Being non-toxic, it can be safely planted in gardens with pets or small children. Furthermore, it is considered bird-friendly, as its dense, columnar structure provides shelter and protection for small birds. With a height of up to 2.5 meters, it harmoniously integrates into the overall garden landscape while still providing an impressive vertical accent.
