LATIN NAME:Juniperus chinensis 'Silverthorn'
Pungens 'Silverthorn' is a striking evergreen shrub prized for its unique silver-blue foliage and naturally upright growth habit. Its dense branching structure and soft, feathery texture create year-round interest while adding color and dimension to the landscape. This hardy variety is well suited for foundation plantings, privacy screens, accent gardens, and property borders, where its distinctive color provides a beautiful contrast against darker green plants.
Its adaptability, drought tolerance, and low-maintenance nature have made it a popular choice among homeowners and landscape designers alike.
Amount of Sunlight: Prefers full sun.
Amount of Water: Requires regular watering while becoming established but becomes drought tolerant once mature.
Soil Conditions: Prefers well-drained soil and adapts well to a wide variety of soil types.
Cold Hardiness Zone: 4–9
Pungens 'Silverthorn' thrives in sunny locations with plenty of air circulation. Applying a layer of mulch around the base of the plant will help retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. Once established, only occasional watering is necessary. Light pruning may be performed to maintain the desired shape and size, although the plant naturally develops an attractive form with minimal maintenance.
