An interesting, low growing variety of Juniperus known sometimes as Creeping Juniper. The ‘Blue Chip’ is a near-flat grower, preferring to spread outward quickly and makes for excellent groundcover for woodland display at the base of trees or borders. The foliage is dense, with fine, scale-like, blue-green leaves growing in a feathered pattern. The mildly scented foliage gains hues of bronze and purple during the Winter. Can be grown potted as a patio plant to limit its growth or left to grow and cascade in a hanging plant style. Plant in medium moisture, well-drained soils and keep in full or partial sun. Drought tolerant once established. Susceptible to damage from overwatering and waterlogged soils. A versatile plant that thrives in most poor soils and conditions, including coastal areas.
