Juniperus horizontalis 'Wiltonii'
Choose Blue Rug Juniper for dry, sunny slopes or walls where you need a flat evergreen carpet; the tradeoff is that it spreads wide and will not give you height, flowers, or screening.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | It gives strong ground-level color and texture, but it reads as a carpet rather than a focal shrub. |
| Growth Rate | A- | It fills ground faster than many woody groundcovers when planted in the right exposure. |
| Maintenance | A- | Once established, it usually needs little more than edge control and occasional cleanup. |
| 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 spreads too much for narrow foundation beds or cramped walkways. |
| Screening Value | F | It is a groundcover, not a plant for blocking views or creating privacy. |
At PGNE, we would use Blue Rug Juniper where turf struggles on hot slopes or banks, not where a homeowner wants a neat little accent shrub near the front walk.

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!
