BLUE RUG JUNIPER

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.

Planting Tips ⓘ

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in well-draining soil, selecting a location that receives full sun to ensure the best foliage color and density. These evergreen shrubs are incredibly durable and heat-tolerant, though they require consistent water during the first season until the root system is well established; thereafter, they are notably drought-tolerant.

Prune as needed in late winter or early spring to manage size or remove dead wood, but avoid aggressive shearing that exposes the inner woody stems. Apply a layer of organic mulch around the root zone to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, taking care to keep the material a few inches away from the crown to prevent stem rot.
