Juniperus horizontalis 'Blue Chip'
Juniperus horizontalis 'Blue Chip' is a creeping juniper with a very spreading, low, and dense habit, known for its remarkable ground cover and intense silvery-blue foliage that retains its color throughout the year. Forming a uniform, flat, and even mat, it is ideal for slopes, rockeries, low walls, green roofs, or as groundcover between more vertical plantings. In winter, its foliage sometimes takes on slight purplish hues without ever fading. This cultivar is very hardy, drought-tolerant, and perfectly suited to poor, rocky, or sandy soils. Its compact form provides effective and decorative plant coverage with no maintenance. 'Blue Chip' is often used for its consistent aesthetic qualities and reliability in harsh climates.
