Wichita Blue Junipers - Four Months Later - September 2025

I planted some small pot-grown Wichita Blue (upright) Junipers in our backyard in early May.  Today, four-months-later, all three of them seem to have handled the heat of the Summer and aren't in distress.  That's good.  I watered them pretty heavily this Summer and they're (partially) protected from the Sun - being planted under the tree swing Northern Red Oak.  

They get shade in the morning and late afternoon.  But, are full Sun in the middle of the day.  

That seems (*knock on wood*) to be working for them as there is little brown'ing-out happening with the needles.  See below for what these three look like after being planted for four months in our garden:

To date, I haven't planted the rest of the bed around them, but this is my inspiration:  using Stachys Hummelo in a mass planting.   Maybe that'll be a #Fall2025 project.  Or, something for next year.
