Culture
Wichita Blue Juniper is easy to grow and very low maintenance. It prefers full sun and is not picky about soil type or pH as long as the soil is well-drained. It is tolerant of dry soil, drought, salt, and windy sites. It never requires pruning unless you want to shear it for a more formal look or as a topiary specimen.
