Notes
'Saybrook Gold' common juniper (Juniperus pfitzeriana 'Saybrook Gold') is a shrub for borders, hedges, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to average soil of most types. It stays evergreen and handles drought well. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It grows 48 to 60 inches tall and 60 to 72 inches wide, so give it room.
Pairs well with Poppy mallow, Gladiator ornamental onion, and Buffalo grass.
