When you go to the garden center make sure you buy the exact varieties that I mentioned here. You will not be happy with other varieties. These two plants are the unsung heroes of the ground cover world. Two more of my favorite junipers are Skyrocket and Wichita Blue. These are both upright varieties with a blue color.
Skyrocket is very tall and skinny.
Wichita Blue is more blue in color, and has a little more bulk to it. Do yourself a favor and visit the full service garden centers in your area and pick up a couple of really unique and interesting plants for your landscape. These are my favorites. Lace Leaf Weeping Japanese Red Maple, is the most beautiful plant you can put in your landscape. Shop around and see if you can find a small one.
