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 turf substitute, on banks, in rock gardens and planter boxes, around tall shrubs or trees, or cascading over a wall. 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). They are rarely eaten by deer, are tolerant of salt and black walnut trees, and love full sun. |
