Blue Rug Juniper - Juniperus horizontalis 'Wiltonii'

A hardy, low-growing evergreen shrub ideal for USDA Zones 3–9. Thriving in full sun, it adapts well to a range of soil pH levels and prefers well-draining soils, from sandy to rocky types, tolerating poor, dry conditions. It reaches 3–6 inches in height and spreads 4–6 feet within the first five years, eventually maturing to 3–6 inches tall with a 6–8 foot spread. With slow growth and excellent drought, wind, and salt tolerance, it’s a great choice for coastal gardens, erosion control, and rock gardens. Also makes a good bonsai.

The Blue Rug Juniper requires minimal maintenance and only light pruning in late winter or early spring if shaping is desired. It is deer-resistant and has excellent cold hardiness, although it should be planted in areas with good drainage to prevent root rot. The blue-green foliage develops attractive purple hues in fall and winter, adding seasonal interest. This juniper’s low water needs, and compact, sprawling habit make it ideal for mass plantings, ground cover, borders, and slope stabilization.
