Juniperus horizontalis 'Blue Chip'
Superior evergreen groundcover with silver-blue foliage on a widely spreading habit. The foliage retains its rich color all year long. Lovely when planted around boulders or in rock gardens, where its twisted branches can be trained to unique forms. A reliable plant for extreme climates. Thrives in rocky soils or the sandy gravel. Use on slopes for coverage or erosion control. Plant along retaining walls and curbs, where the creeping foliage will cover year-round.
