RE: Groundcover juniper

That looks just like it. Hmmm, all the references say full sun. I did
see it growing in shade though at that garden. I haven't decided on
anything yet, still trying to figure out what will work. I thought
veronica liwanensis would be nice too, I have one spot that has done
well for me under the sycamore in the past. It takes more water though
and I want something xeric.  I was also thinking about native California
heucheras but I worry about being able to get rid of the leaves.
If I can't decide...I know where I can get quite a lot of authentic
desert canyon type rocks.
