It may also produce small, powder-blue berries.\r\nSize \u0026amp; Form: It has a compact, spreading, and fountain-like growth habit with arching branches. It typically grows to about 4–5 feet (1.2–1.5 meters) tall with a spread of 5–8 feet (1.5–2.5 meters) at maturity.\r\nHardiness: It is extremely cold-hardy, a reliable choice for Canadian climates, rated for Canadian Hardiness Zone 3 to 9.\r\nTolerances: Highly adaptable and low-maintenance, it is tolerant of drought once established, a wide range of soil types, deer, and urban pollution. \r\nLight: Requires full sun to thrive and maintain its optimal color and form.\r\nWater: Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish a robust root system. Once established, it is drought-tolerant, but will not tolerate standing water.\r\nMaintenance: This is a low-maintenance shrub that can be pruned in late winter or early spring to shape, though its natural form is quite attractive. It can also be adapted to topiary or pom-pom forms.\r\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\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"Bylands Nurseries","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49707105059056,"sku":"74594","price":69.98,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0421\/3617\/4760\/files\/74594-1.jpg?v=1779921670","url":"https:\/\/floralacres.ca\/products\/juniper-5-gal-mint-julep-88016","provider":"Floral Acres Greenhouse \u0026 Garden Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
