Juniper Blue Rug (Juniperus horizontalis ‘Wiltonii’), also commonly known as Blue Rug Juniper, is a low-growing evergreen groundcover valued for its silvery blue foliage and spreading habit. Commonly used for erosion control, borders, and mass plantings, it performs best in Northeast Florida landscapes with full sun and excellent drainage.
Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun
• Water: Low once established; water regularly during establishment
• Pruning: Minimal; prune lightly only to control spread if needed
• Fertilizer: Generally not required; apply a light, balanced fertilizer in spring if growth is poor
