| Botanical Pronunciation | ju-NIP-er-us sa-BI-na tam-ar-iss-sif-FOH-lee-a |
|---|---|
| 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. |

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.
