Juniperus horizontalis ‘Bar Harbor’, is a creeping juniper that features blue-gray foliage in summer and then changes to purple in the winter.

The Bar Harbor’s chameleon-like leaves have long, sharp points that come in pairs or threes when juvenile, and then become more scale-like or flat when they are adult.

‘Bar Harbor’ grows in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun. Bar Harbor adapts to a wide range of soils, but prefers a dryish, sandy soil.

It tolerates hot, relatively dry growing conditions, somewhat poor soils, and many city air pollutants. It is intolerant of wet soils.
