More about this plant
A dense, low growing juniper with an upright branching pattern held over a wide horizontal spread, reaching about two to three feet tall and four to ten feet across. The scale like foliage is blue green to gray green and fine in texture. It grows in full sun or partial shade on clay, loam or sand with good drainage, tolerating occasional dry spells, and resists deer, drought, air pollution and salt. Use it as a bank and slope cover, a foundation spreader, a low border, or a coastal planting where salt spray defeats other evergreens.
