Notes
'Monber' creeping juniper (Juniperus horizontalis 'Monber') is a groundcover for rock gardens and ground cover plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy soil. It stays 3 to 6 inches tall and spreads 72 to 96 inches, so give it room. Deer tend to pass it by. It is evergreen, drought tolerant, and salt tolerant.
Pairs well with Blue fescue, Woolly yarrow, and Greig's tulip.
