JUNIPERUS HOR WILTONI
Grower Notes:

Juniperus horizontalis 'Wiltonii' is commonly referred to as Blue Rug Juniper or Wiltonii Juniper. It is a female, prostrate, fast-growing selection with attractive blue, finely textured foliage that develops a purplish color in winter. It creates a very dense, blue colored groundcover, thus the name Blue Rug Juniper. It is regarded as one of the best groundcover junipers due to its vivid color and density.

Blue Rug Juniper thrives in full sun in average, sandy, well-drained soils. It does not tolerate standing water. It can be drought tolerant once established. It is tolerant of urban pollution and can thrive in city environments. Blue Rug is ideal for groundcovers, rock gardens, slopes and foundation plantings.
