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.
Buy This If
- You need erosion help.
- You want blue evergreen coverage.
- You dislike regular pruning.
Skip This If
- You need upright structure.
- The site stays wet.
- You want seasonal flowers.
PGNE Report Card
| 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. |
Our Experience
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.

Customers Usually Ask
Will it stay flat?
Yes, it is used for low groundcover, not upright branching.
Can it handle poor soil?
Yes, as long as drainage is good and the site is not soggy.
Does it need trimming?
Usually only to keep it from creeping past its intended edge.
