The ground covering conifers have a wide variety of uses.

They are excellent as weed suppressing plants, as they can form a thick, dense carpet.
They are often used for covering banks, cascading down walls or in rockeries.

The Juniperus varieties are extremely hardy and drought tolerant.
Councils often use them in median strips, where they are exposed to very harsh conditions.
They come in a variety of colours with many changing colour in winter.
They can easily be pruned to control the spread or height.
