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.

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.
This shrub is planted in several different locations at the Xeriscape Demonstration Garden. It performs well with no damage by insects or disease. The small juniper berries are attractive and remain throughout the year. The less water it gets the more slowly it will spread.
None generally required.
