Juniper Blue Rug – 30 Live 2 Inch Plants | Juniperus horizontalis Groundcover | Silver Blue Evergreen Shrubs | Creeping Juniper Landscape Plants

Create a dense, colorful evergreen groundcover with this set of 30 live Blue Rug Juniper plants. Botanically known as Juniperus horizontalis, this low-growing creeping juniper is prized for its striking silver-blue to blue-green foliage and spreading growth habit.

Blue Rug Juniper is an excellent choice for slopes, rock gardens, retaining walls, foundation plantings, erosion-control areas, and large-scale landscape groundcover. Its trailing branches can spread across difficult terrain or cascade attractively over walls and landscape edges.

The evergreen foliage provides year-round interest and may develop a temporary purple or bronze-purple cast during very cold winter weather. Normal blue-green coloration typically returns as temperatures warm in spring.
