Juniperus conferta 'Blue Pacific' is a captivating cultivar of the shore juniper, known for its striking blue-green foliage and low, spreading growth habit. This evergreen shrub typically reaches up to a foot in height and 6-8 feet in width, forming a dense, mat-like groundcover that cascades beautifully over slopes, walls, or containers. The standout feature of 'Blue Pacific' is its vibrant, blue-green needle-like leaves, which maintain their bold hue throughout the seasons. The fine-textured foliage creates a lush, textural appearance that adds visual interest to the landscape. Highly adaptable, Juniperus conferta 'Blue Pacific' thrives in a variety of well-drained soil types and is hardy in USDA Zones 6-9. Its low-growing, spreading nature makes it an excellent choice for erosion control, rock gardens, border plantings, and as a low-maintenance groundcover. In addition to its ornamental value, 'Blue Pacific' is also deer-resistant, making it a practical option for landscapes where browsing is a concern. Its compact habit and cascading growth pattern also lend themselves well to container plantings, allowing gardeners to incorporate this unique juniper cultivar into smaller spaces.
