Notes
'Glauca' Chinese juniper (Juniperus chinensis 'Glauca') is a shrub for ground cover, accent planting, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and average moisture. It stays evergreen and grows at a moderate rate. Deer tend to browse other plants first. Once settled in, it tolerates drought and salt.
Pairs well with Edelweiss, Weigela, Carnaval De Nice tulip, and Buffalo grass.
