Description

This attractive ground cover reaches 1' tall and 6' wide. It is very low, spreading, and mound-like -- resembling a natural bonsai. One of the best Junipers for small garden spaces! Dense evergreen foliage is blue green. This Juniper is great for erosion control, difficult hillsides and in coastal areas. This Juniper can be pruned into a topiary or used for Asian themed gardens. It's great in small spaces. It prefers full to part sun and needs occasional watering once it's established.

Water Saving Tip:

Mulching and adding compost to soil can minimize evaporation and help soil absorb and store water.
