Dwarf Japanese Garden Juniper
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:
In shrub areas, convert from spray sprinklers to bubbler or drip systems that apply water directly to roots.
Occasionally check the soil's moisture level around shrubs before and after watering to determine if watering times are appropriate.
