Sargent Juniper
Sargent juniper is a carpeting evergreen shrub native to seashores and cliffs in northeast Asia. Its dense, slender branches bear fragrant, blue green, mostly scale-like leaves, and small, berry-like, bluish fruit. Sargent juniper prefers full sun and well-drained soil, and is resistant to juniper blight. It works well as a ground cover or bonsai plant.
