Notes
'Mint Julep' Pfitzer juniper (Juniperus pfitzeriana 'Mint Julep') is a shrub for hedges. 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 is drought tolerant. Deer rarely make it their first choice. It grows 48 to 60 inches tall and 48 to 96 inches wide, so give it room to spread.
Pairs well with Blue grama, Carnaval De Nice tulip, and Pincushion flower.
