Blue Pacific Shore Juniper

Blue Pacific Shore Juniper spreads into a broad evergreen carpet of soft, feathery blue-green foliage. Its low habit is well suited to slopes, retaining walls, mass plantings, and coastal landscapes where salt and dry conditions can challenge other plants. It grows far wider than tall and provides year-round color without shearing. Plant in full sun and well-drained soil, then water regularly until established. Available for local pickup from Towns Edge Nursery.
