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.

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!
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…
