Juniperus horizontalis ‘Blue Chip’ is an evergreen conifer shrub with a low-growing, spreading habit and featuring silvery steel-blue foliage that turns purplish in cold winters. Uses include groundcover, urban medians, weed suppression, erosion control. Performs well in seacoast, desert, and intermountain conditions. Moderate water use on installation; highly drought-resistant once established. It prefers sharply well-drained, sandy, or rocky soils. Highly adaptable to acidic or alkaline pH. Best in full sun; it has low shade tolerance and growth becomes sparse and leggy in medium-to-dense shade. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Resistant to Verticillium wilt. Cold hardy to -30°F.
