How to Grow and Care for Creeping Juniper

0

Cultivars to Select

There are plenty of creeping juniper options out there and new ones are always coming onto the market.

Many cultivars are fairly similar, varying slightly in color and size, which is excellent because this allows you to find exactly what you want.

Here are a few good options:

Blue Forest

At just a foot tall once mature, ‘Blue Forest’ is better suited as a forest for fairies and elves than humans.

But if you hunker down at ground level to check this low-growing cultivar out, you can see where the name comes from.

Not only does the foliage have a distinct blue hue, but the branches grow upright with a conical shape, giving the impression of a tiny little forest of junipers.

Blue Rug

‘Wiltonii,’ also known as blue rug juniper, makes the perfect carpet for practically any spot in the garden.

At just a foot tall and stretching to six feet wide, it forms a dense rug that blocks out weeds and prevents erosion, all while providing year-round interest.

It will weep gracefully over rocks, walls, or pots. Or you can let it crawl over a challenging area where other plants struggle to gain footing.

Hughes

With a classic, creeping form and lovely silvery-blue foliage, ‘Hughes’ is an excellent choice for rocky slopes and arid spots.

It’s a tough ground cover that won’t let any weeds poke their way through.

Lime Glow

‘Lime Glow’ is a low-growing, vase-shaped shrub that brings intense color to your yard with its chartreuse foliage.

In the winter, the show continues as the leaves transition to copper, purple, and orange.

While it will obviously make a charming ground cover, the long, arching branches make it particularly nice for gracefully tumbling over the edge of pots or extending down a rock wall.

‘Lime Glow’

It can spread up to three feet wide but never grows more than a foot tall, and usually stays shorter than that.

You can find ‘Lime Glow’ in one-gallon containers available at Fast Growing Trees.

Mother Lode

Eureka! We’ve struck the ‘Mother Lode’ with this brilliant, gold-colored juniper.

Yes, the yellow-orange foliage is fabulous, but it’s not just the color that matters when you’re hunting for the goods.

It’s the quantity that counts, and this plant can spread up to 10 feet wide but stays a manageable five or so inches tall.

In the fall, the foliage turns purple and orange, adding interest to the winter landscape.

Maintenance

Don’t worry about pruning your junipers.

Just take off any dead or diseased branches when you see them, and let the shrub take on a natural shape.

Propagation

Because of its shape, with its long, slender branches, creeping junipers propagate well from cuttings. You can also purchase many different cultivars for transplanting.

Don’t bother with trying to start these plants from seed. It takes years and tons of knowledge, and even then you’ll probably struggle with low germination rates.

From Cuttings

J. horizontalis is popular as a bonsai option.

Most practitioners start new projects using cuttings, because it’s reliable and you can be certain that clones will reproduce the characteristics that you want.

The best wood is young but firm, so new growth that has had the summer to mature is ideal. In the fall, look for wood that is pliable and still has a green hue to it.

Gently tear a six-inch length of stem off, pulling in the opposite direction from the growth.

If you took a bunch of excess bark off when you pulled, trim most of it away, leaving a heel of less than half an inch. Remove the leaves from the bottom half.

Dip the cut end in a rooting hormone.

Stick the cutting into a six-inch container filled with potting soil so it’s covered by half.

Firm the soil around the cutting and water so the soil feels moist, like a well-wrung-out sponge. Place it in bright, indirect light.

Allow the surface of the soil to dry out in between watering.

By spring, your cutting should have roots and new growth forming.

Late Spring Color from Teresa’s Garden in Maryland

0

Hi GPODers!

When we were first introduced to Teresa Eutsler’s garden in Whaleyville, Maryland (Zone 7b) she explained that this was the new garden her and her husband had built after moving away from a high-maintenance landscape in 2017 (Check out that post: July in Teresa’s Maryland Garden). Teresa originally planned for a simpler garden that would require less work, but with each new submission she sends in I’m wondering if she has a different definition of “simple” than I do. Last month we saw some spectacular scenes from her spring garden (Teresa’s Spring Garden in Maryland), and today she is back to share the exciting color that has emerged since then. These photos are more examples of her designs being anything but simple, and the number of plants she grows from seed reveal that her passion and love for the “work” she does in the garden is too strong to slow down now.

Rose standards, “big” begonia annuals, gaura, yarrow (Achillea millefolium, Zones 3–9), and nepeta in the foreground. Foxgloves (Digitalis purpurea, Zones 4–9), nepeta and gaura anchor the end of the bed.

seed sown plants in gardenFoxgloves, delphinium, gaura, and Madame Butterfly ivory snapdragons (Antirrhinum majus ‘Madame Butterfly Ivory’annual) grown from seed with sedum in the foreground.

Cutting gardenCutting garden behind the patio bed, with larkspur (Consolida ajacis, annual) and dahlias putting on lots of growth. This area also has zinnias, sunflowers, cosmos, bachelor’s buttons (Centaurea cyanus, annual), poppies growing on from seed for lots of bouquets.

raised beds growing cut flowersThese raised beds also grow flowers for cutting and vegetables. I have Potomac Lavender and Rose snapdragons (Antirrhinum majus ‘Potomac Lavender’ and ‘Potomac Cherry Rose’annual) and Madame Butterfly Ivory snapdragons grown from seed, ranunculus, lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum, annual), calendula, tomatoes on the arbors, peppers, lettuces, snap peas, bush beans, cucumber and herbs. I love that they are extra tall so no bending!

vegetables in raised bedThe vegetable side of the raised bed. I grow my tomatoes on the arbor for easy harvesting.

27 Deck Awning Ideas for Small and Large Outdoor Spaces

0

My backyard and plants are my go-to place to reduce stress and find peace, while I take the first sip of black coffee.

I wonder if it is coffee or plants that are soothing my brain. Or both.

But by noon? I’m back inside. Because without any shade, my deck turns into a sun trap fast. And that’s a shame, because it’s actually a really nice space.

That’s what got me thinking about awnings. Not the boring, roll-down kind from old storefronts. But real, good-looking options that actually make your deck feel like a place you want to hang out all day long.

The good news is there are a lot of great ideas out there. The not-so-great news is not all of them work for every space. A big pergola-style awning might look perfect on a large deck but feel way too heavy on a small one. And some styles that look amazing in photos are honestly more hassle than they’re worth.

This list is here to help you sort through all of that. Whether you’ve got a tiny deck or a big wraparound, you’ll find ideas here that actually fit your space, your budget, and the way you like to live outside.

27 Deck Awning Ideas for Your Outdoor Spaces

Not every space is the same, so to make things easier, I’ve grouped these ideas into five categories — fixed awnings, retractable awnings, sail shades, pergola-based covers, and creative budget-friendly options.

Fixed Awnings

Fixed awnings go up once and stay there. No moving parts, no setup, no fuss. They work best on decks that get direct afternoon sun and feel like a natural part of your home.

1. Classic Canvas Fixed Awning

Canvas awnings have been around forever and there’s a good reason for that. They’re simple, clean-looking, and come in enough colors and stripe patterns to match almost any home exterior.

A classic canvas awning slopes downward from the house, which helps rain run off easily. Just make sure the fabric is UV-treated and water-resistant. Regular canvas won’t hold up well after a few seasons of sun and rain.

2. Metal Corrugated Roof Awning

If you want something that truly lasts, metal corrugated awnings are hard to beat. They handle heavy rain, strong wind, and years of direct sun without much complaint.

They work really well with brick, wood, or concrete exteriors. The one downside is noise. Heavy rain on a metal roof can get pretty loud, though some people actually like that.

3. Polycarbonate Panel Awning

Polycarbonate awnings are a smart pick if you want shade without losing natural light. The panels are clear or lightly tinted, so your deck stays bright even when it’s covered.

On really hot days, clear panels can trap warmth underneath. A tinted or opal finish handles that better and still lets in plenty of light.

4. Dome-Style Fixed Awning

Dome awnings have a slight curve instead of a flat slope, and that small difference makes them stand out. They shed rain quickly and hold up better in wind since there’s no flat surface for gusts to push against.

They work best above a single door or a narrow section of deck. If your home has a traditional or cottage-style look, a dome awning fits right in.

5. Waterfall Drop Awning

A waterfall awning has a front valance that drops straight down instead of stopping at an angle. That extra drop gives you more side shade and a bit more privacy, which a lot of people don’t think about until they actually need it.

It works well on decks that face a busy street or a neighbor’s yard. You can usually choose how long the drop is. Longer means more privacy. Shorter keeps things feeling open and airy.

Retractable Awnings

Retractable awnings give you the best of both worlds. Pull them out when the sun is beating down, roll them back when you want open sky. Perfect for people who don’t want permanent shade blocking their view on nicer days.

6. Manual Retractable Awning

Manual retractable awnings are the no-fuss, no-electricity option. You crank a handle, the awning rolls out, and that’s it. They’re more affordable than motorized versions and just as reliable since there’s nothing mechanical to break down.

They work best on smaller to medium decks. Just don’t cheap out on the fabric. A good UV-resistant canvas will last years longer than a bargain option that fades and sags after one summer.

7. Motorized Retractable Awning

Motorized awnings do the same job as manual ones but with a button press. If your deck is large or your awning is mounted high up, that makes a real difference in day-to-day use.

Some models come with wind and sun sensors that retract the awning automatically when conditions get rough. They cost more upfront, but the convenience is hard to argue with.

8. Freestanding Retractable Awning

Freestanding awnings don’t attach to your house at all. They stand on their own posts, making them a great option for detached decks or if you simply don’t want to drill into your walls.

The tradeoff is stability. In strong wind, freestanding structures need to be properly anchored or they can shift. Make sure the base is weighted or secured before you rely on it.

9. Lateral Arm Retractable Awning

Lateral arm awnings extend outward using two folding arms instead of a straight roller. This lets them project further from the wall and cover more deck space without needing support posts underneath.

They need a solid wall mount since the arms put outward pressure on the attachment point. Make sure your wall can handle it before installation.

10. Pergola-Mounted Retractable Canopy

If you already have a pergola, adding a retractable canopy on top is one of the easiest upgrades you can make. It slides along tracks in the pergola frame and gives you shade exactly when you want it.

Just make sure your pergola frame is sturdy enough to support the weight and tension of the canopy system before you buy.

Sail Shades & Fabric Options

Sail shades look simple but can completely change the feel of an outdoor space. They’re lightweight, affordable, and come in enough shapes and colors to work with almost any deck style.

11. Triangle Sail Shade

Triangle sail shades are easy to install, easy to take down at the end of the season, and give your deck a relaxed, casual look. You attach the three corners to posts, walls, or trees and the fabric stretches taut between them.

One triangle rarely covers enough ground on its own. Two or three arranged together can cover a surprisingly big area while still looking intentional.

12. Rectangle Sail Shade

Rectangle sail shades give you a cleaner, more structured look than triangles. They cover more ground with a single panel and sit flatter since they attach at four corners.

Water can pool in the center during heavy rain, so install them at a slight angle. That one small step makes a big difference.

13. Layered Sail Shades

Layering multiple sail shades at different heights and angles looks like it took a lot of planning but is actually pretty simple. Mix sizes and overlap them until the coverage feels right.

Different heights add visual depth and break up the space in a way that feels intentional without spending a lot of money.

14. Waterproof Sail Shade

Most standard sail shades are water-resistant but not fully waterproof. If you live somewhere that gets real rain, a waterproof sail shade is worth the extra cost. They shed water completely instead of just slowing it down.

Waterproof fabrics are less breathable though, so a slight tilt during installation helps keep air moving underneath on hot days.

15. Colorful Fabric Canopy

A colorful fabric canopy is less about function and more about personality. A bold stripe or deep solid color can make a plain deck feel intentional and put together almost instantly.

Just keep in mind bright colors fade faster in direct sun. Look for solution-dyed fabric if you want the color to last more than a summer or two.

Pergola & Structure-Based Awnings

Pergolas are more than just shade solutions. They turn your deck into a proper outdoor room. They cost more and take more effort, but the results are hard to beat.

16. Wooden Pergola with Canopy

A wooden pergola with a fabric canopy is the most classic combination on this list. The wood frame adds warmth, and the canopy fills in the shade where open slats let sun through.

It works best on medium to large decks where the structure has room to breathe. Cedar and redwood are the top wood choices since they naturally resist rot. Pressure-treated pine costs less but needs a good sealant to hold up long term.

17. Metal Pergola Awning

Metal pergolas look cleaner and more modern than wooden ones, and they’re much lower maintenance. No staining, no sealing, no rot to worry about.

Aluminum is the most popular choice since it’s lightweight and rust-proof. Pair it with a neutral canopy or retractable shade panels and you’ve got a sharp-looking setup that lasts for years.

18. Louvered Roof Pergola

A louvered pergola has adjustable roof slats you can open or close depending on how much shade you want. Close them on a hot afternoon, open them up on a cool evening.

They’re one of the pricier options, but they work year-round in almost any weather. Some motorized versions adjust automatically based on wind and sun sensors.

19. Bamboo Pergola Cover

Bamboo filters light softly instead of blocking it completely, which creates a warm, dappled shade that feels really pleasant to sit under. It’s also one of the more affordable cover options.

It works best in dry, warm climates. Bamboo can split and warp with repeated soaking, so it’s not ideal for areas with heavy or frequent rain.

20. Attached Pergola Awning

An attached pergola connects to your house on one side and stands on posts on the other. It feels like a natural extension of your home rather than a separate structure in your yard.

Just make sure the ledger board is properly sealed where it meets the wall. Water getting behind that connection is the most common problem with attached pergolas, and it’s much easier to fix before installation than after.

Creative & Budget-Friendly Awning Ideas

Not every shade solution needs a big budget or a contractor. Some of the most charming deck setups are put together with simple materials and a little creativity. If you’re working with limited space or limited funds, this category is for you.

21. Outdoor Curtain Shade

Outdoor curtains hung from a rod or wire give you shade and privacy without any permanent structure. They’re easy to install, easy to swap out, and surprisingly effective at blocking afternoon sun.

Use weather-resistant fabric and make sure the rod is securely anchored. Curtains catch wind easily, so a flimsy setup won’t last long.

22. Shade Cloth Cover

Shade cloth is one of the cheapest ways to cover a deck. It’s a knitted or woven fabric that blocks a percentage of sunlight while still letting air flow through freely.

You can stretch it over a simple frame or attach it to an existing pergola. It comes in different densities, so you can choose how much sun you want to filter out.

23. Wisteria-Covered Trellis Awning

A trellis covered in wisteria or another climbing plant creates natural shade that gets better every season. It looks beautiful, smells amazing, and costs very little once the plant is established.

The tradeoff is patience. It takes a couple of growing seasons before you get real coverage. But once it fills in, it’s one of the most stunning shade options on this list.

24. Recycled Pallet Shade Structure

Old pallets can be turned into a simple overhead shade frame with a little effort and some basic tools. It’s rustic, budget-friendly, and surprisingly sturdy when built properly.

Sand them down well and treat the wood before use. Untreated pallets can splinter and don’t hold up well against moisture over time.

25. String Light Canopy Frame

A simple frame built to hold string lights doesn’t block much sun, but it defines the space beautifully for evening use. Add a shade cloth or fabric panels on top and it works during the day too.

It’s one of those setups that looks way more expensive than it actually is.

26. Umbrella Cluster Shade

Grouping two or three large patio umbrellas together is one of the quickest shade solutions out there. No installation, no drilling, no permits. Just open them up and you’re done.

They work best on larger decks where you can space them out naturally. On a small deck, multiple umbrellas can feel cluttered fast.

27. DIY PVC Pipe Canopy

A PVC pipe frame covered with shade cloth or canvas is one of the most budget-friendly DIY awnings you can build. PVC is lightweight, easy to cut, and simple to assemble without any special tools.

It won’t win any design awards, but for a functional, affordable shade solution it gets the job done. Anchor it well though — a lightweight frame can shift in strong wind if it’s not secured properly.

Conclusion

There’s no single best deck awning. It comes down to your space, your budget, and how you actually use your deck.

Want something permanent and low maintenance? Go with a fixed awning or pergola. Like flexibility? A retractable awning gives you shade when you need it and open sky when you don’t.

Working with a tight budget? Sail shades and DIY options can do a surprisingly good job without spending much.

The biggest mistake most people make is rushing the decision. Take a little time to figure out where the sun hits hardest and how much coverage you actually need. Get that right and everything else falls into place.
