5 Live Plants Blue Rug Juniper Juniperus horizontalis Wiltonii Groundcover
Blue Rug Juniper is a low-growing evergreen groundcover prized for its dense, trailing habit and silvery-blue foliage that deepens to a rich blue-green in cooler months. This durable shrub spreads to form a handsome carpet, making it a popular choice for borders, slopes, rock gardens, and foundation plantings.
This juniper works well as a groundcover mass planting, erosion-friendly slope cover, or accent in mixed perennial beds and containers. It grows steadily outward and can be left to naturalize or lightly shaped as desired.
