North Carolina State University" Parson's Juniper is a dense low growing evergreen shrub in the cypress family native to Asia. It grows 2-3 feet tall and spreads 4-10 feet wide. The blue-green to gray-green foliage has a soft texture and the shrub has an upright branching pattern. It is heat, salt and drought tolerant and easy to grow.

 

Its preference is for well-drained moist to dry soils in full sun but it will tolerate some shade. Use as a ground cover, on banks to prevent erosion, foundation plant or filler between shrubs.

 

Monrovia: One of the best of the non-green spreading junipers, Parson's Juniper offers grayish blue-green foliage on a prostrate, spreading form. Fill between larger shrubs, spread along slopes or cascade over walls with this versatile groundcover.
