Juniperus horizontalis 'Blue Chip'
Choose Blue Chip Juniper for dry banks or open beds where you want flat evergreen coverage; the tradeoff is that it spreads wide and will not give height, flowers, or privacy.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B | It gives clean blue evergreen coverage, but the effect is broad and low rather than upright or flower-focused. |
| Growth Rate | B | It spreads at a moderate pace, so expect steady coverage rather than an instant carpet. |
| Maintenance | A- | Once rooted in well-drained soil, it needs little pruning beyond keeping edges where you want them. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer usually pass this by, since the foliage deters browsing, though no plant is completely immune where pressure is severe. |
| Small Space Fit | C- | It stays very low, but the spreading habit can outgrow narrow beds if you do not plan for width. |
| Screening Value | F | This is a groundcover, not a plant for privacy or blocking views. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Blue Chip Juniper for dry slopes, wall tops, and open beds where mulch keeps moving. Give it room sideways and avoid low spots that stay wet.

They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
