Special FeaturesEasy Care, Waterwise
Problems/SolutionsCoastal Exposure, Deer Resistant, Erosion Control, Rabbit Resistant, Drought Tolerant
Growth RateModerate
Growth HabitSpreading
Landscape UseBorder, Ground Cover
Design IdeasThis Juniper spreads but is not ground hugging. Instead, it makes graceful wide mounds that are particularly lovely as individual specimens in fields of gravel or bark. A good choice for warm-winter regions, where it fits nicely into settings that are both tropical and Asian in appearance. Adds accent to a mass of flatter Juniper used for erosion control on banks and slopes. Particularly lovely in raised or seatwall planters.
Foliage ColorGreen
Companion PlantsClematis (Clematis); Rose (Rosa); Russian Sage (Perovskia); Catmint (Nepeta); Barberry (Berberis); Maiden Grass (Miscanthus)
Care InstructionsAdaptable and easy to grow in most well-drained soils; avoid overly wet conditions. Water deeply, regularly in first growing season to establish root system. Once established, reduce frequency; tolerates moderate drought. Space 10 ft. apart as groundcover; closer for faster coverage. Control weeds with mulch until plants fill in.
