It forms a cover with a fresh yellowish-green color reminiscent of lawn.[7] The foliage is prickly, typical of many junipers. The plant can tolerate acidic and alkaline soils but requires good drainage.[8] Like other junipers it is tolerant of herbicides such as glyphosate.[9]
Conferta is derived from Latin. "Con" meaning together and "ferta" meaning strong.
It is also often grown as bonsai.[10]
