Juniperus chinensis 'Echiniformis' is one of the finest junipers ever introduced for the rock garden due to its insanely slow growth...2' tall x 2' wide in 25 years. In appearance, hedgehog juniper resembles a prickly blue-green hedgehog and you'll never live long enough to need to use hedge clippers on this gem. There's good reason no sane nursery would ever offer such a slow-growing plant!
