  • Description

  • Notes

The very dense growth of this plant is highlighted by foliage of a bluish-green color. Its growth habit is very low, spreading, and mound-like -- resembling a natural bonsai. One of the best Junipers for small garden spaces.
Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball at ground level. 3. Prepare soil mix of equal parts soil and soil amendment. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build Basin and water.
