Foliage: Features dense, finely textured, bluish-green needles with silver stripes that retain their colour throughout the winter, providing year-round interest. Size \u0026amp; Form: A slow-growing, ground-hugging shrub that typically reaches only 8–12 inches (0.2–0.3 meters) tall with a spread of up to 4 feet (1.2 meters) at maturity. Hardiness: Extremely cold-hardy and reliably grows in Canadian Hardiness Zone 2a to 6b. Tolerances: It is highly adaptable and drought-tolerant once established, performing well in poor, rocky soils and urban environments. It is also deer and rabbit resistant. Light: Requires full sun to thrive and maintain dense growth. Water: Water deeply during the first growing season to establish roots. Once established, it is very drought-tolerant and sensitive to standing water. Soil: Adaptable to a wide range of well-drained soils, including rocky or sandy soil. It will not tolerate wet soil. Maintenance: This is a low-maintenance shrub that requires minimal pruning. Any shaping should be done in late winter or early spring before new growth starts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you need any more photos or additional information on this product, send us a message using the chat button on our website with the product name, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis plant has a representative product photo and the item you will receive may not be exactly as shown.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bylands Nurseries","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49707105026288,"sku":"74565","price":39.98,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0421\/3617\/4760\/files\/74565-1_8e3cd31b-8113-4592-9406-9aa1c329b212.jpg?v=1779921765","url":"https:\/\/floralacres.ca\/products\/juniper-2-gal-alpine-carpet-88015","provider":"Floral Acres Greenhouse \u0026 Garden Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
