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).
Ordered 24 Blue Rug Junipers. They sent them in a box fit for fine china. Little guys all lined up in the box just as pretty as if that was their home and the prettiest blegreen color. Classy fits real well for a name. It matches the quality of the shipment... Read full review >

Living in Minnesota I was a bit hesitant to order plants from Georgia. I was afraid I would find a bunch of half dead shriveled up plants. To my surprise and delight, the plants arrived in excellent condition. Not only that but they were really well established... Read full review >
