About this plant
Juniperus horizontalis 'Blue Chip' is a low-growing, evergreen shrub with striking silvery-blue foliage that retains its vibrant color year-round. Perfect for groundcover, edging, or cascading over walls, this hardy variety forms a dense mat, offering excellent erosion control. Its fine-textured foliage provides stylish contrast in mixed landscapes, complementing larger shrubs and perennials. Ideal for sunny locations, 'Blue Chip' performs well in poor, sandy soils and is an excellent choice for drought-prone areas.
