Juniperus conferta 'Blue Pacific'

Also known as: Blue Pacific Shore Juniper, Shore Juniper

Native to the sea coasts of Japan and Sakhalin Island in Russia, Juniper Blue Pacific is one of the most reliable evergreen groundcovers you can have. Its soft, aromatic, blue-green needles spread along low, trailing branches, creating a dense carpet of texture and color that holds up beautifully in tough, sandy, salt-exposed conditions. It even produces small berry-like seed cones that turn silvery-blue as they mature, adding subtle seasonal interest to its year-round evergreen color.
