Origin
The Juniperus squamata 'Holger', also known as Holger's Juniper, has its origin in Asia. This genus belongs to the cypress family and is often found in regions such as the Himalayas. The 'Holger' variation is a cultivar, which means that it has been specifically grown for certain characteristics.

Characteristics
The Juniperus squamata 'Holger' is a hardy, low-growing conifer, characterised by its blue-green needles that turn slightly yellow in winter. The plant has a compact, often spreading shape and can reach a height of about 1 metre. This makes this conifer suitable for low hedges and rock gardens. It produces small, spherical cones that function as fruits.

Care
In caring for this plant, it is important to know that it prefers a sunny to semi-shady location. It is well resistant to cold temperatures and enjoys growing in a well-draining, neutral to lightly acid soil. Pruning the Juniperus squamata 'Holger' is not necessary, but can be performed during the spring to maintain the desired shape.
