Juniper, Blue Chip

A versatile juniper that is a low-growing evergreen prized for its steel-blue foliage and sprawling habit. In late spring, its stems begin to trail outward, forming dense mats that rise only 6 to 12 inches above the ground while spreading widely- typically 6 to 8 feet, and in favorable conditions even further. Throughout the seasons, its foliage holds a crisp blue tone, though in winter or under cold stress the color may deepen towards mauve or purplish cast.
