  • Description

  • Notes

'Repanda' is a hardy, evergreen, low-growing juniper that has a prostrate habit growing between 12 to 18 inches tall and 6 to 8 feet across, though it grows slowly. It has small green-grey needle and brown fruit. Foliage is tinged bronze in the winter. This juniper tolerates part shade. Useful in shrub and foundation borders, or as a low-water ground cover.
Grow in well drained soil in sun to part shade, in any soil, including clay, clay-loam, loam, loamy-sand, sandy-clay, and rocky soils. But does not tolerate wet soils. Avoid shearing.
