Use the plant water needs as a guideline. Actual plant water needs will vary for several reasons, including weather conditions, soil type, sun exposure, root depth, wind and elevation. Adjust your watering schedule as needed to meet the plants' needs at your site. Water recent transplants more often than established plants.

Albyn prostrate scotch pine is a low-growing evergreen shrub. It can be used as a groundcover, growing about 6 inches per year. It has a rambling, layered habit, making it a good option for larger spaces or sites where it can cascade over a slope or wall.
Its needles are bluer than hillside creeper. It can be a good alternative to groundcover junipers.
Albyn prostrate scotch pine has been an excellent groundcover at the Xeriscape Demonstration Garden. It will grow to 6 to 10 ft wide, so make sure it is planted in an area with enough space.
Selective pruning may be needed occasionally.
