Singing Tree Gardens: Dwarf Conifers, perfect little trees for rock gardens and bonsai too!

September 9, 2010

If there is one thing we really love about our dwarf conifers, it is that they always look perfect. These little trees really shine through all of the seasons, no matter what the weather. They add those bright foliage colors year round, or the form or texture your garden requires.

Genus: Juniperus
Species: squamata

Here is a wonderful blue juniper that makes a star shape when viewed from above. It will only grow to 3 ft. wide and 1 ft. tall in 10 years. A valuable landscaping plant to add blue color year-round. Plant with orange or gold foliaged plants like Thuja occidentalis 'Rheingold' or Calluna vulgaris 'Robert Chapman'.
