Is it possible 2 plant juniper w/the crab grass currently there I am in hopes of it replacing. Like not 2 have yard bare in process of it's growth.

Yes, but we did not use groundcover around our plants and lost quite a few of them. Last fall we cleaned around the remaining plants and laid down groundcover and the plants have survived. It would have been so much easier to put that down at first. Good luck! Sandra O.

I planted mine on open hillside, so I don't really know about your situation. Sorry I couldn't help you.

I just planted mine last fall, and since it has been surviving a record- breaking cold PA winter, I would think that crabgrass won't stop it from growing!!

crabgrass will not hurt tthe juniper however the juniper is might slow growing,

We carry at least two different products that contain the name "basagran" and neither lists Junipers on their respective labels. Now does that mean either will kill a juniper if you were to spray it? I don't know. But I do know there is a limit to how many plants will be listed on any product label so it is possible junipers were left off the two labels I reviewed. But I also know juniper is a fairly common plant and therefore if Basagran was okay for use on them, I'm sure it would have been included. In summary, I suggest you search for an alternative formulation that has junipers on the label clearly stated. This is the only sure way to know you won't risk any danger or harm to the plants you're spraying and trying to protect. And in the future, it would be wise to use a pre emerge like Surflan Pro to help prevent the weeds from ever growing in the first place. Surflan Pro can be safely used over juniper with no concern and it will stop all broadleaf and grassy weeds from growing in the first place. http://www.amazon.com/Surflan-Pro-Quart-32-Oz/dp/B005F056R2 Lastly, if hand pulling the weeds is not something you're willing to do, you could "paint" some Roundup on any you want gone. This will prevent damaging the junipers and will certainly kill the "painted" plants. Cheers, Jonathan Customer Care U-Spray Bugspray

Absolutely, plant them in San Diego. I retired from Fresno, Huntington Park and San Francisco Bay Area-California and it is hard to have anything not grow in California. These plants are very good growers and prolific. We saved the seeds from last year and are replanting lots more

Steve, quit trying to grow pot from ditch weed seed. If that's what you are looking for, look elsewhere.

My grass did very well and did not need additional watering after it matured. I will give a warning though that most of this grass is an annual type and will not re-grow after winter. I had to re-seed my front lawn last month.

No, it is not the actual plant. Juniper will die inside the house. It is an outdoor plant. Look for an inside bonsai like a ficus for example.

Hello! You can surely grow this in a regular pot. Just dump the soil mix inside the bag in your pot (or your own dirt too I suppose would be fine as well.) The seeds are in a little packet and I found them to be useful enough to fill said ugly sack twice. Hope your kitty (or dog.. I suppose dogs can nibble this as well; don't see why not) enjoys!

IMHO this is the best "grass" for the Phoenix metro area. I have an entire lawn and have found it to be truly perennial, as it grows year round. Plus it stays green and looks and feels like a carpet. Be sure to kill all weeds before planting, especially crabgrass, as it's a pain to remove once the dichondra comes in.

Our temps here in Mo are still swinging dramatically. 70s one day, 50s the next and night temps still dipping in the upper 30s and 40s -if I would order them now I'd go the pot route. If you live in the South and winter temps don't go below 50, I'd put right in the ground. I planted mine in large (very large) decoratine pots and moved into the garage over winter -our winter temps run in the minus temps and only the strongest survive. My friends who had these plants live in the deep South so I assumed they prefer and thrive with the warmer temps dspite their claim that they are Northern hardy Our temps here in Mo are still swinging dramatically. 70s one day, 50s the next and night temps still dipping in the upper 30s and 40s -if I would order them now I'd go the pot route.

Yes, you can plant it, just protect it from frost, I will be uncovering mine this week.

I planted it outside. It has only been there one season so have no idea about it spreading yet because it takes a couple of years to establish itself. Wish I could have been more helpful. Will know more this summer. Good luck.

If it's a ficus... Yes. A juniper thrives outside and will not last too long inside

I started cool weather seeds this week (lettuce,spinach,peas). I'll start other plants probably next week. I watch how cold it will get overnight. If it stays above 32, I figure most seeds will be ok. By the time the little shoots have started coming up, it will be staying warmer at night. I'll bring in geraniums and pansies in the next week or two. I've been in the greenhouse the past few evenings and it is still pretty warm. I always go by Zone 4 for Colo. And I always try to pick perennials that are native to this area. You can't go wrong with any of them. They take the cold weather better. It's always trial and error with these little grow house. Good luck and thanks for asking!

I don't know if it will grow in Phoenix, but it does grow beautifully in Rockwall, TX. We are in zone 8. Going into it's second winter and looking good.

Potted mine too in about 3ft dia pot and it was outside over last summer and took well. I live on coast in VA. But then we had a bad rain storm and I didn't get it drained well enough and think root rot set in. It's been in house all winter and I mist it regularly but not sure it's surviving. If it's still seems viable when whether warms I think I should dig up and put rocks in bottom for drainage (there were holes in pot but I'd set it in a pan in house just after bad rain and didn't realize pan was full as I kept watering....stupid!) anyway, my thumb is green with 'easy' house plants and this poor guy (we named him Larry) has kept me in turmoil. I read it's fine to pot but not sure where I went wrong exactly. Hope this helps and I'd love any advice from anyone else!

you will have to find a way to braid the new growth, the plant I had before did great I had for about 2 1/2 years and I did braid the new growth, the branches are soft enough but you just need to be careful (unfortunately it died on me while I was in the hospital in the summer) [friends didn't give it enough water] Second one I just purchased a few months ago died a few weeks after I received it, will buy another one from a local nursery after I start walking again...the lower braid will get taller and thicker, just watch the new growth, watch watering...go light in the winter but keep well watered in the summer, loves sun and warmth. Last thing, you may want to put it in a larger pot before summer so that the roots can take off like wildfire. best of luck with yours. RR

If you can buy the plant I think so. My lemon grass I grew from seed ended up taking over as has most of the grasses. One well established plant can turn into many easier than seeds for me. Saying that, the seeds caught I just did not take care enough and they ended up dying.
