Juniperus squamata 'Blue Carpet'
Juniperus squamata ‘Blue Carpet’ is a very popular ornamental ground cover juniper, recognized for its intense silvery-blue foliage and remarkably regular spreading habit. This variety is distinguished by its low, spreading growth, forming a dense and uniform carpet ideal for covering large areas, stabilizing slopes, adorning rock gardens, and advantageously replacing lawns in dry and sunny areas. Its persistent foliage, composed of short, tight needles, maintains a strong bluish coloration all year round, offering constant visual interest even in winter. Very hardy, drought-tolerant once established, and undemanding regarding soil quality, ‘Blue Carpet’ is particularly appreciated in sustainable landscaping and Nordic gardens. Its robustness, longevity, and low maintenance make it a reliable choice for difficult areas where few plants thrive long-term.
