Notes
'Limeglow' creeping juniper (Juniperus horizontalis 'Limeglow') is a shrub for ground cover, rock gardens, borders, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to average soil of most types. It stays under 12 inches tall and spreads 12 to 36 inches wide at a moderate pace. The evergreen foliage stays on the plant all year, and the plant tolerates drought and salt. Deer tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Maiden pink, Blanket flower, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
