The Blue Pacific Shore Juniper is a spreading evergreen with beautiful blue-green feathery foliage. This plant is renowned for being heat and drought resistant, and it will even grow in almost pure sand. Use it to cover hot, dry areas of your garden, or along driveways and paths in full sun. Even in the semi-desert southwest this plant thrives, and it is the perfect choice for the sea-shore too, where it will stabilize shifting sand dunes and prevent erosion. Its Japanese origins make it the perfect choice for planting among gravel in your Asian-themed garden, or anywhere you want beauty and low-maintenance. With this plant even your hottest and driest spots will look perfect all year round.
Plant the Blue Pacific Juniper in full sun in any soil that is well-drained. It will grow well in alkaline soils, stony and sandy soils, hard clays ā just about anywhere. It grows across the country from zone 5 to zone 9, and we recommend this plant for those hot and dry areas where not much will grow. Soon you will have turned that hot, dry corner into a beautiful blue carpet, that looks perfect all year round. This plant has no significant pests or diseases, and deer leave it alone too. It is resistant to salt spray and thrives everywhere.
