Description
Blue Rug Juniper (Juniperus horizontalis 'Wiltonii') is a top choice for groundcover thanks to its dense, silver-blue foliage and creeping habit. It stays under 6 inches tall but can spread 6–10 feet wide, forming a beautiful living carpet over rocks, slopes, or garden edges. Cold-hardy, salt-tolerant, and deer-resistant, it’s an ideal plant for erosion control and tough landscape spots.
- Hardiness USDA Zones are 3 to 9
- Thrives in Full Sun
- Typically grows 4–6 inches tall and spreads 6–10 feet wide
Note: Shipped potted and carefully packed. Foliage may bronze slightly in winter but returns to blue in spring. California shipping restrictions may apply.
