Blue Chip Creeping Juniper
The Blue Chip Juniper (Juniperus horizontalis 'Blue Chip') is a popular, low-growing coniferous evergreen shrub widely used as an ornamental groundcover. It features a dense, spreading habit that forms a tight, mat-like carpet over the soil, making it effective for weed suppression, rock gardens, and mass landscape plantings. This hardy shrub is highly resilient, thriving in hot, dry, and urban conditions. It retains its vibrant blue-gray hue throughout the summer, shifting to a beautiful purplish-mauve tint during the winter months.
