More about this plant
A slow growing, relatively flat topped spreading juniper reaching about two to three feet tall and four to six feet across, with green foliage carrying a slight blue overcast that shades silvery through fall and winter. It likes full sun and tolerates difficult ground, including heat, drought and poor or dry soils. Its low, wide and even habit suits it to foundation plantings, bed accents and ground cover across a slope or a strip where a taller spreading juniper would overrun the space.
