Dwarf Japanese Garden Juniper

Dwarf Japanese Garden Juniper forms a dense evergreen mat of bluish-green foliage with gently mounding, interlacing branches. It stays low while spreading several feet, making it useful on slopes, over retaining walls, in rock gardens, or as a textured foreground plant. Full sun and sharp drainage are essential for healthy growth. Once established, it is drought tolerant and requires very little routine care. Available for local pickup from Towns Edge Nursery.
