Description

Buffalo Juniper is a wide-spreading, low-growing, very hardy sub-shrub with bright green foliage. It presents a softer look than most junipers, and is an excellent ground cover. Like most junipers, it grows best in full sun and well-drained soil.

Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
