Juniperus horizontalis 'Blue Chip' is a prostrate evergreen shrub prized for its low-growing, spreading habit. Reaching 10 inches tall and spreading up to 10 feet wide, it forms a dense, mounded carpet. The foliage features soft, feathery needles in a striking silver-blue hue that develops purplish tips in winter. This hardy cultivar thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, showing tolerance for drought and heat. It is ideal for erosion control, rock gardens, or cascading over retaining walls.
