The Broadmoor Juniper is a lovely low-growing coniferous shrub that quickly spreads its graceful branches to fill available space. Broadmoor is also well-known for the pleasant pine-scented fragrance that it emits, making it the perfect candidate for planting near walkways and decks where its aroma can be enjoyed. Broadmoor actually changes to different shades of green throughout the year in accordance with the seasons. Summer brings a lighter hue of emerald-green with increased sunlight and winter darkens the hue to a deeper forest-green that provides color during winter months. This is a resilient shrub that's ideal for harsh and windy locations, such as coastal and mountainous climates. Broadmoor is native to mountainous regions in Eastern Europe where it still grows wild, enduring scorching summers, freezing winters and depending solely on natural rainfall for irrigation. Broadmoor is most often planted as a ground cover but can also be kept as a low-growing shrub that's perfect for planting near foundations, decks and side walks. If grown without pruning, this Juniper reaches 2 ft. to 3 ft. H with a fast spread of 8 ft. to 10 ft. Very drought and wind-tolerant, deer-resistant and cold hardy down to minus 40°F. The Broadmoor Juniper is a low-maintenance, beautifully-colored and aromatic evergreen that adds a new depth to any landscape.
