Conifers 
Sun and moist sandy soil suit the dwarf spruce (Picea) and 
juniper best while the majority of the other conifers in this 
list prefer richer soils, 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.
