Juniperus chinensis 'Stricta'
Juniperus 'Stricta' is a narrow, upright conifer with a distinctive columnar habit, valued for its year-round structure and elegant form. Its aromatic, cool green foliage creates a dense, vertical accent in borders, rock gardens, or as a specimen tree in formal planting schemes. Over summer, it produces deep violet-blue berries, adding seasonal interest and providing food for birds and wildlife.
A hardy and low-maintenance choice, ‘Stricta’ grows steadily at 15–20cm a year, reaching around 2m in 10 years. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it particularly effective in gravel gardens, Mediterranean-style planting, or as an evergreen punctuation point in mixed borders. With its reliability and neat habit, it is an excellent option for year-round interest.
