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.
