conifers are trees.. technically.. they never stop growing.. in your lifetime.. intro to conifers at link ... look at the annual growth rate info ... a mini .. will take decades to get 4 or 5 feet tall .. and wide ... a dwarf.. less time.. and you really probably.. will not want nothing that grows faster than a dwarf annual growth rate ... ALL SIZE ESTIMATES are at ten years .. simply multiply by 2.. for the size at 20 years ... or for the annual growth rate ESTIMATE.. of the person who made the tag!!! .. convert to inches.. and divide by ten ... its starts with how big it is when you get it.. a year or two to get established.. and then how fast it will grow thereafter ... so.. i think now.. this post is dead.. peeps who dont care about juniper ... will not check back in .. i suggest a new post.. with more than your width info.. including a pic of the entire area ... color suggestions ... form ... etc.. ask these peeps to make suggestions from every spectrum.. and ask that what they recommend is actually for sale somewhere .. lol .. below is a pic of how to insert about 20 mini conifers in a very small bed.. do you need another collection.. lol ... ken and forget about that thin tall green one.. its got its own problems ... you can see the discolored part in the second to last pic.. that i had to prune out ... its compressa.. and if i am not mistaken.. but too lazy to check.. wait for it.. a juniper.. lol .. Here is a link that might be useful: intro

Hi Kenstar, you will know when you see the buds! It is very early in the season still. The Blue Heaven is one of the last rebloomers of mine to bloom, but are very reliable bloomer. Also I love it for how large the blooms are! I haven't checked in a couple days, but I pretty sure none of them have buds yet. Plus one of my Blue Heavens got frosted back this year, but has recovered already. If you want to know the best rebloomer to buy for blooming early. It is the Blushing bride! Even the winter before last they did not die to the ground. One of my two has a bloom already starting to open. Along with both of them are full of buds. I bought three Let's Dance Starlight Hydrangeas last year. They are all three loaded with buds right now also. My BH's are just leaves also so don't worry, be pateint. Once they start to bloom they will put on a show until frost. Also BH's are the best for dried flowers. They dry perfectly on the plant. They always dry blue or red!

Kenstar how much sun does your BH get. I have found that it is my most sensative Hydrangea to the sun. They can't handle full sun pass 11am. It is still newly plated in my opinion, even though it was planted last Spring. Just pinch the browned out buds. It will need plenty of water still this year. Don't worry it is just going through some growing pains. The BH is very reliable for me and will be for you also. Just plenty of water it's first couple of years and morning sun. I also have one that only gets some dappled evening sun for an hour or two that does great! I bought this liquid from Pettiti's to turn them Blue that works like a charm and was only $2 for a bottle. Although that was a couple of years ago, might be a little more now. I have a soil PH right in the middle. No matter if they are planted pink or blue they all turn purple on me, but it is easy to change them back either way! I have one bed that leans more blue, so I have alot of fun playing with the colors!

I've cut 'em down to the ground. They are no mo! I decided that since I already had one of them die from whatever they get - I'd rather cut them down now than when they were 10 feet high --- if they would have even made it to that. Roses will take up their space!
