Design Styles: No other Juniper can hold a candle to the romantic grace of these weeping trees. With foliage reminiscent of Spanish moss, it makes a beautiful specimen or background planting in the dry garden. Plant where its full form is allowed to freely grow and exhibit a most graceful character. Good as foundation planting between windows or as a background accent. Take advantage of its size to screen utilities or views. At home in the traditional cottage garden and in the dry Santa Fe-style landscape.

Care Information

Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Watering can be reduced after establishment. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring.
