Junipers adapt to almost any well-drained soil, retain year-round foliage (with seasonal color shifts), and offer forms from towering trees to low groundcovers. Drought-resistant and versatile, there's a juniper for every garden design.
Columnar and narrow, reaching 10–20 feet tall but only 1.5–2 feet wide. Foliage ranges from blue-green to gold-green. Thrives in USDA zones 4–7, full sun. Resists deer, rabbits, drought, wind, slope erosion, and salt spray. Low maintenance.
Low, spreading bush or groundcover, 2–3 feet tall. Blue-green evergreen foliage loves sun and tolerates various soils. Ideal for decorative hedges along paths or beds. Water well first year; thereafter, water with surrounding landscape. Zones 4–8.
