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.

Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
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!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
