Juniper Blue Chip

Juniper Blue Chip, Juniperus horizontalis 'Blue Chip', is a prostrate cultivar that features steel blue foliage throughout the year with purplish tips in winter. It typically grows up to 8 to 10” tall but spreads to 10’ wide. It forms a low ground cover that generally spreads by long trailing branches with abundant short branchlets. Foliage is typically green to blue green during the growing season, but often acquires purple tones in winter. It grows in average, medium moisture, well drained soils in full sun. Blue Chip adapts to a wide range of soils, but prefers a dryish, sandy soil. It tolerates hot, relatively dry growing conditions, somewhat poor soils and many city air pollutants. Intolerant of wet soils.
