Blue Rug Juniper
Juniperus horizontalis 'Wiltoni'
1 gallon pot
The Blue Rug Juniper isn't just stunning; it's also practical, making it a perfect evergreen groundcover for your garden. This low, ground-hugging shrub is a pro at draping over retaining walls and bringing a touch of silvery blue elegance to any landscape. With its vibrant silver-blue foliage that turns a striking purple-bronze in winter, the Blue Rug Juniper offers visual interest all year.
The Blue Rug Juniper is drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and thrives in various soil conditions, including sandy soil. Plus, it rarely needs pruning unless you want to tidy up its naturally centered growth habit.
Plant it in full sun, water it well until established, and watch it thrive with minimal fuss. No pests, no diseases; just a lush, aromatic addition to your garden that’s as tough as it is gorgeous. Pruning Blue Rug Juniper is rarely needed, but if you do, aim for late winter or early spring to encourage healthy growth.
