This aptly named evergreen shrub grows as a carpet of silver-blue foliage to only six inches tall in virtually any soil type. Juniperus horizontalis 'Wiltonii' ('Blue Rug') can be used as a low-profile groundcover for large plantings or in front of taller shrubs. Blue Rug Juniper also looks great in a rock garden or raised bed, spilling over rocks or edges.
How large does Blue Rug Juniper grow?
It typically grows 4 to 6 inches tall and spreads 6 to 8 feet wide, forming a dense, low mat of silvery-blue evergreen foliage.
What kind of light does it prefer?
Full sun is best for vibrant color and dense growth. It tolerates partial shade but may become thinner or less blue in lower light.
What type of soil does it need?
It prefers well-drained soil and adapts easily to sandy or rocky ground. Avoid poorly drained or heavy clay soils to prevent root problems.
How should it be watered and maintained?
Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. Once mature, it’s drought-tolerant and requires minimal care. Prune occasionally to remove dead stems or control spread.
