Characteristics
The Juniperus Conferta 'Schlager' is characterised by its low and spreading growth habit, which can provide dense cover. The needles are narrow and sharp, with a rich bluish-green colour, enhancing the plant's attractive appearance. The conifer produces small, round cones that turn bluish black when ripe. A mature 'Schlager' can reach a height of between 180 and 200 centimetres.

Care
The Juniperus Conferta 'Schlager' is a sturdy plant that requires little care. It grows best in a location with full sun or partial shade and has minimal requirements of the soil type, as long as it is well-drained. The plant is drought tolerant and only needs water during extended dry periods. Pruning is generally not necessary, unless needed to control shape or to remove dead or sick branches.
