Juniperus horizontalis 'Ice Blue'
Juniperus horizontalis 'Ice Blue' is a very low-growing, creeping juniper with a spreading and dense habit, prized for its pale steel-blue foliage with silvery reflections, offering a cool and luminous sheen rare among groundcover conifers. Its shape is regular, forming a narrow mat pressed to the ground, with finely textured evergreen foliage that retains its hue in winter. It is used in borders, rockeries, retaining walls, or as a unified groundcover over large areas. Its cool and stable color contrasts well with golden or dark green foliage. Very hardy, drought-tolerant, and adaptable to poor soils, 'Ice Blue' requires no special maintenance. It is a sober, graphic, and effective choice for contemporary or minimalist designs in Nordic climates.
