Flowering typically occurs from early to late summer. Shrubby Cinquefoil is a popular ornamental shrub choice and is capable of growing on a variety of sites.

Medora Juniper has an upright, narrow growth habit that makes it well suited as either an accent shrub or as a privacy hedge or screen. It is a compact, pyramidal evergreen shrub with blue-green foliage that lasts year round.
