Rocky Mountain juniper thrives in drought conditions or other equally dry sites. It is discernible by its silvery-blue scale-like foliage that covers the stems and retains its color throughout the year. Reddish-brown bark can be seen amidst the foliage adding texture and color. 'Wichita Blue' is also known for its smaller habit and conical shape. Junipers do best in average, well-drained soils in full sun. They are intolerant of wet conditions.
