Juniperus h. 'Wiltonii' is a low growing, creeping groundcover that forms a dense, low mat of trailing branches with almost cedar-like silvery-blue foliage that shifts to a light purplish-bronze tinge in winter. Wiltonii spreads slowly to moderately fast and is considered among the fastest growing junipers, spreading up to 12-15 inches per year.
It is an especially refined landscaping choice for uneven hillsides, as it will cascade downhill and conform to the shape of the ground offering a blanket of rolling green texture year-round.
Interesting Fact Wiltonii is often used for bonsai trees.
General information about Juniperus (Junipers):
Our Junipers are
low growing,
trailing prostrate groundcovers.
They are commonly used for mass plantings as a

They are excellent for
erosion control
on light to moderate
slopes
and are particularly effective in sandy locations along coasts or dunes. These junipers are tolerant of heat, drought, dry growing conditions, city air pollutants, and poor soil, even clay, as long as drainage is adequate (they prefer a dryish, sandy soil - make certain you have adequate drainage when you plant).
If you want to cover a large area at a reasonable price (and not feed the resident deer population), these plants are for you. They shipped quickly and arrived in excellent condition. Keep in mind that it takes a while for blue rug to spread and fully cover the ground.
