Juniperus horizontalis 'Turquoise Spreader'
Juniperus horizontalis 'Turquoise Spreader', also known as creeping juniper 'Turquoise Spreader', is a groundcover conifer highly valued for its bright turquoise-blue foliage and widely spreading habit. This variety forms a dense carpet of horizontal branches that hug the ground, creating a decorative plant cover ideal for rockeries, embankments, borders, and landscaping requiring persistent groundcover. Its fine, turquoise-blue foliage with silvery reflections remains decorative all year round and can take on slightly purplish hues during winter. Very hardy and undemanding, this juniper tolerates poor, sandy, or dry soils well and withstands harsh climatic conditions. Thanks to its spreading growth, it also helps stabilize soils and limit weed growth.
