Blue Rug Juniper

“Blue Rug Juniper” is a top choice where rich coloring all year round, combined with toughness and fast, easy growth is needed. It soon becomes a broad carpet of evergreen foliage, just a few inches tall but 6 to 10 feet across. It will grow 7 to 12 inches a year, soon covering broad areas, or cascading down slopes or over walls. This easy-care plant thrives in the hottest, sunniest places, and it tolerates drought once established. It grows well even in sandy soil, or gravel and stones, and it is excellent for planting among rocks, or beside paved areas and concrete edging. It prevents soil erosion on slopes, and grows well at high-altitudes, as well as right beside the ocean. It is hardy even to minus 40, and yet it grows in zone 9 too. So don’t worry if this plant will grow in your area or not – it definitely will.
