Mint Julep® Juniper: Mint Green Arching Form for Shrub Borders

Mint Julep® Juniper (Juniperus chinensis 'Monlep')

A standout for its brilliant mint-green foliage displayed on a beautiful arching, fountain-like form, Mint Julep® Juniper is a constant performer in all climates. Use in shrub borders, mass plantings, or on the fringe of natural areas. The soft, minty color is unique among junipers. Evergreen. Monrovia selection.

Unique Mint Green Color

The foliage is a clear, bright mint green—not the typical dark blue-green of most junipers. The arching, fountain-like habit creates a soft, graceful mound 5–10 feet tall and 4–7 feet wide. The color holds well through winter. A refreshing color accent in the conifer palette.

Growing Requirements

• Light: Full sun.
• Height: 5–10 feet.
• Spread: 4–7 feet.
• Soil: Well-drained. Adaptable to various soils.
• Water: Low once established. Drought-tolerant.

Garden Uses

Excellent in shrub borders, foundation plantings, mass plantings, and naturalistic edges. The mint green color pairs beautifully with burgundy, gold, and blue conifers. Use as a specimen or in groups. The arching form softens hardscapes. Deer resistant.

Care

Very low maintenance. No pruning needed unless to contain size. Water regularly first year, then minimal. Excellent drainage. Tolerates urban conditions.
