| Average Size at Maturity | Moderate growing; reaches 18 to 30 in. tall, spreading 10 to 15 ft. wide. |
| Bloom Time | Conifer; prized for foliage. |
| Design Ideas | This 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. |
