Notes
'Scandia' savin juniper (Juniperus sabina 'Scandia') is an evergreen shrub for borders, rock gardens, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer tend to browse other plants first. Its arching form grows at a moderate pace, and it tolerates drought once settled in.
Pairs well with Mugo pine, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Carlton daffodil.
