Description:
Blue Chip Juniper is a low-growing, spreading evergreen prized for its soft blue-gray foliage and excellent ground-covering ability.

The foliage takes on a slightly purplish tint in winter, adding subtle seasonal interest. Tough and adaptable, it thrives in poor soils and requires little care once established.

Interesting Fact:
Blue Chip Juniper is highly drought-tolerant and one of the most widely used groundcover junipers, thanks to its durability and ability to suppress weeds once established.
