Juniperus horizontalis 'Wiltonii', also known as the "Blue Rug" juniper, is a captivating cultivar renowned for its vibrant, steel-blue foliage and trailing, mat-forming growth habit. This evergreen groundcover typically reaches just 3-6 inches in height, while spreading 6-8 feet wide to form a dense, carpet-like coverage. The fine-textured, needle-like leaves maintain their striking blue hue throughout the seasons, providing a lush, textural contrast in the landscape. Hardy in USDA Zones 3-9, 'Wiltonii' thrives in well-drained soils and full sun, making it a durable and low-maintenance choice for ground cover, erosion control, rock gardens, and cascading over walls or slopes.
