Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.

  • Description

  • Notes

It's name is a little redundant, but very descriptive, as this evergreen grows a mere 6 inches tall and eventually about 3 to 4 feet across. Grey-green foliage retains color throughout winter. It is useful on slopes and when draped over walls. Have also seen this cultivar at nursery's propped up on stakes to create an upright, mounding, art-juniper thing.
