Blue Chip Creeping Juniper

Blue Chip Creeping Juniper (Juniperus horizontalis 'Blue Chip') Blue Chip Creeping Juniper, Juniperus horizontalis 'Blue Chip', is a very low growing, spreading evergreen groundcover valued for its dense, carpet like habit and cool steel blue foliage that holds color through the seasons. Typically staying under 1 foot tall while spreading several feet wide, it creates a tidy living mat that flows over the ground, softens edges, and helps keep weeds in check. The foliage reads as blue gray in spring and summer and often takes on subtle purplish tones in colder weather, giving year round plantings a clean, finished look with minimal upkeep. Distinctive Features Blue Chip Creeping Juniper is known for its very low profile, with trailing branches that hug the ground and overlap to form a thick, even carpet over time. The fine textured, scale like foliage is a distinctive blue gray, especially in full sun, and maintains its color well instead of fading to green. Its natural habit allows it to drape over rocks, wall edges, and gentle slopes, emphasizing the contours of the landscape while staying neat and controlled. Hardy, drought tolerant once established, and rarely bothered by deer, this cultivar is a practical choice where you want dependable coverage and cool toned color in sunny, well drained sites.
