Shore Juniper 'Blue Pacific', Juniperus conferta 'Blue Pacific'
Juniperus rigida subsp. conferta ‘Blue Pacific’ (Shore Juniper) is a spreading, low-growing, evergreen shrub prized for its lovely, prickly foliage of green needles adorned with blue and silver overtones. Dense, the foliage retains its fantastic color all-year round and does not bronze in winter. This creeping Juniper bears attractive cones that are black and covered with a silver bloom. While low and trailing, it features a light, airy habit in comparison to other ground-hugging junipers and its branches are fairly soft and flexible. Use this cultivar wherever a blue-green ground covering conifer is desired. Excellent choice for use along retaining walls, or anywhere it can be allowed to cascade down over the edges. Heat tolerant.
