Juniper Blue Pacific is a low growing evergreen ground cover known for its soft blue green foliage and naturally spreading shape. Native to the coastal regions of Japan and Sakhalin Island, this hardy shore juniper forms a dense carpet of color that looks beautiful year round. It grows best in full sun and well drained soil and handles drought, sandy soil, and coastal conditions once established. Juniper Blue Pacific is a great choice for slopes, rock gardens, borders, mass plantings, and coastal landscapes where you want lasting texture with minimal maintenance.
