Juniperus Horizontalis ‘Blue Chip’

Blue Chip Creeping Juniper

Low-growing evergreen conifer with a wide, spreading habit and trailing branches. It forms a dense, uniform mat that hugs the ground, making it an excellent choice for covering large areas and stabilizing slopes.

The foliage is fine-textured, composed of small, scale-like leaves. Its color is a bright silvery-blue during the growing season, intensifying in full sun. In winter, it may take on slight purplish tones, adding seasonal interest while maintaining its cool-toned appearance.

Juniperus horizontalis ‘Blue Chip’ prefers full sun and well-drained soil, thriving in poor, sandy, or rocky conditions. It tolerates moderately dry to dry soils and performs well in exposed locations. Once established, it shows high drought tolerance, strong resistance to urban pollution, and moderate tolerance to salt. It is ideal for slopes, rock gardens, and as a durable, low-maintenance groundcover.
