‘Andorra Compacta’ creeping juniper forms a low, mounded mat 40 cm high, spreading 2 m with dense plum‑green needles that turn rich purple in winter. Ideal for banks, rockeries and erosion control, it thrives in full sun, gravelly soil and is hardy to −40 °C. Zero pruning required—just plant and enjoy a weed‑smothering carpet that tolerates drought, wind and salt spray.
