Conifers 
Sun and moist sandy soil suit the dwarf spruces (Picea) and junipers 
best while the majority of the other conifers in this list prefer richer soil, 
more moisture, and as much sun. There are suitable forms for every 
location in the rock garden and if you have never used these low 
growing shrubs you have missed an opportunity for interest and accent. 
NOTE: Colors in descriptions refer to foliage rather than flowers.
