Juniperus horizontalis Blue Chip (Blue Chip Juniper)

Blue Chip Juniper stays close to the ground and spreads into a dense mat of blue-green foliage, which is why it is such a reliable option for erosion control and dry, sunny ground. Winter color often shifts toward purple, so it still brings interest when many other groundcovers look flat. For banks, rock gardens, and low-maintenance areas, it is one of the more useful creeping junipers.
