They are very popular woody plants because there is a form for almost every landscape use. More information concerning this group may be obtained from HGIC 1107, Juniper Groundcovers .
Taller junipers are excellent for foundation plantings, screens, hedges or windbreaks.
All junipers generally enjoy full sun and good drainage. They will grow in a variety of soils but do not like their roots to be in waterlogged soil. They tolerate adverse conditions and withstand heat and drought much better than most ornamentals. Balled and burlapped junipers are best planted in the fall. Junipers should not be severely pruned.
