Compact Andorra Juniper is a long living dwarf coniferous shrub with a dense spreading habit excellent for use as a groundcover. The delicate looking foliage has colors for each season: it emerges bright green in spring, matures with touches of blue in summer, bronzes in fall, and earns purple tints for the winter. Best planted in full sun and well-drained soils. Urban pollution and drought Tolerant once established.
