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.

Dwarf creeping juniper forms a compact mat of bluish green foliage with a feathery texture. The fine-needled branches grow over each other, and vary in length. The scales can have a slightly purple tinge in winter. It is a very pretty spreading juniper.
At the Xeriscape Demonstration Garden, these junipers were slow to establish, but they are alive and healthy. The plants that are located in a sunnier area are larger and have a more intense color. The plants that were in a protected location are smaller and lighter in color. They've had very little trouble with spider mites.
Junipers require little water or fertilizer after establishment. Monthly watering during the winter can help maintain a healthy plant.
