 o
evergreen group suggestion?

Posted by xanthoria 9 (My Page) on

I have the following plants, and need some more to "pull them all together":

1 Juniperus chinensis ("Old Gold" juniper)
2 Thuja occidentalis ("Forever Goldie" juniper)
1 Cupressus sempervirens (Italian Cypress - 12" high)
1 Juniperus horizontalis "Blue Chip"

Can anyone suggest a blue/silvery globe shaped dwarf evergreen that will do well in full sun, low water?

And anything else that will bring it all together?

thanks!

There is globosa blue spruce--32 inches tall. I see you have a juniper, there are several more with silver blue foliage. If you want something different try Sawara False Cypress 60 inches tall with feather like foliage.

You do have a lot of evergreens Why don't you try mixing in a few flowering shrubs that would like the acidic soil that your evergreens need. A shrub like Hydrangea with it's large flower heads would look lovely and then front with a few flowers, either perennial or annual.
