Juniper bushes are evergreen shrubs known for their bluish foliage and berries. People often use juniper bushes as border shrubs in their yards and around homes. However, to ensure the best growth of your shrubs, you should plant juniper bushes at the right time of year.
Time Frame
The best time to plant juniper bushes is in the fall, according to This Old House. Junipers can grow well in poor soil as long as they get full sunlight, according to the North Dakota State University Extension.
Water
Once you put your juniper shrub in the ground, you must water it each week if there is no rain. Once the ground freezes for the winter, you no longer need to water your juniper bush.
Tips
Mulching heavily in the late fall will help your juniper bush live through a heavy freeze. However, once the winter passes, remove most of the mulch. Otherwise, it may stunt your bush's growth.
