Use the plant water needs as a guideline. Actual plant water needs will vary for several reasons, including weather conditions, soil type, sun exposure, root depth, wind and elevation. Adjust your watering schedule as needed to meet the plants' needs at your site. Water recent transplants more often than established plants.

Hillside creeper is a low-growing evergreen shrub. It grows in an undulating, rambling shape, making it suitable as a slightly taller groundcover. It has green needles that turn lighter in the winter.
In the right spot, it can be a good alternative to groundcover junipers.
The two hillside creeper pines at the Xeriscape Demonstration Garden have grown well over the years. They need a big space, but are a good option for slopes, walls, or open areas of the landscape.
Selective pruning may be needed occasionally.
