Buffalo Juniper
Buffalo juniper is a spreading evergreen shrub which is most often grown as a groundcover. It has a nice, uniform growth habit, reaching 12-18 inches tall at maturity. The summer color is olive green. Its horizontal branching habit makes it a thick, low-water groundcover that will completely cover the soil.
