More about Blue Rug Juniper...Blue Rug Juniper is one of the lowest growing of all the ground hugging juniper. It grows to only a few inches tall at most and creeps to about 4 to 6 feet in width over time. The trailing branches form a dense, dark blue-green mat that turns an attractive purplish-bronze during winter.
Blue Rug is commonly used for mass planting as a turf substitute, on slopes or embankments, in rock gardens and planter boxes, under or around tall shrubs or small trees, or cascading over a wall. It is perfectly suited for underplanting lace-leaf Japanese maples.
