Notes

'Sea Green' common juniper (Juniperus pfitzeriana 'Sea Green') is a shrub for borders, hedges, and low maintenance gardens. 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 all year and tolerates drought. Deer rarely make it their first choice. Expect a mature size of 4 to 6 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide, so give it room.

Pairs well with Poppy mallow, Lady of Shalott rose, and Gladiator ornamental onion.
