Blue Pacific Shore Juniper

Blue Pacific Shore Juniper (Juniperus conferta 'Blue Pacific') Blue Pacific Shore Juniper, Juniperus conferta 'Blue Pacific', is a low, spreading evergreen groundcover prized for its dense habit, rich blue green foliage, and exceptional tolerance of coastal conditions. Fine, needle like foliage covers trailing stems that hug the ground, creating a soft, textural carpet that flows over slopes, edgings, and walls. Naturally salt tolerant and wind resistant, it thrives where many shrubs struggle, especially in seaside gardens and exposed, sunny sites. Its clean color and uniform habit give landscapes a finished look while dramatically cutting down on open mulch and bare soil. Distinctive Features Blue Pacific Shore Juniper typically grows 8 to 12 inches tall and 4 to 6 feet wide, forming a thick, even mat that conforms to the contours of the ground. The foliage is a vibrant blue green in the growing season and can take on attractive steely or bronzy tones in colder weather, providing subtle seasonal change without losing coverage. Compared with many other juniper groundcovers, Blue Pacific has a slightly more relaxed, natural drape that looks especially good tumbling over rocks, retaining walls, and the edges of raised beds. Its outstanding tolerance of salt spray, sandy soils, and drought once established makes it a go to choice for coastal and beach inspired landscapes. Growing Conditions...
