LeavesA vase shaped plant with arching mint green branches. Foliage darkens in cooler weather.
Dimensions4-6 feet tall by a spread of 6-8 feet. Listed many times as a good foundation plant. To me it is way too large to be any where near the foundation of a house. Best used in commercial setting or in beds and berms away form the house. Space the plant 4-6 feet on center, depending on the desired affect.
Misc FactsSea Green Juniper is very similar too and may be the same plant as Mint Julep Juniper.
Author's NotesI used these once around a commercial building. I planted to tight and they need pruning to keep to size. Plants reached 3-4 feet by 6 feet wide. Much larger than stated on the label.
