Juniperus horizontalis ‘Wiltoni’ (Blue Rug Juniper)

Blue Rug Juniper is the kind of plant people use when they want the ground covered cleanly and do not want to fuss over it later. It hugs the ground, spreads into a dense mat, and the silver-blue foliage keeps the planting from feeling heavy or dull. Especially useful on banks, over walls, or in hot, dry spots where a regular shrub would struggle.
