Mastering the Green Carpet - A Guide to Growing Calgary Carpet Juniper


Episode 617


Hey plant pals, Ken Lain, the Top 10 Gardener, here with a ground cover gem: the Calgary Carpet Juniper! This low-maintenance beauty adds year-round charm and saves you water, too. Let's unravel its secrets!

Sun-loving soul: Plant your Calgary Carpet in a sunny spot – they bask like happy lizards! South-facing is ideal, but east or west works too. Remember, more sunshine, happier juniper!

Drainage drama: Soggy feet are a no-go! Plant in well-draining soil. Think fluffy, not soggy. Amend clay soil with compost or sand for happy roots.

Watering wisdom: Deep soak less often is key. Imagine roots reaching deep like thirsty miners. Once established, water only when the top inch of soil feels dry.

Size matters: Want a miniature mountain landscape? Prune lightly to maintain desired size. Remember, slow and steady wins the race!

Bonus tip: Calgary Carpet shines in rock gardens, alongside paths, or cascading over walls. Let your creativity bloom!
