As an evergreen shrub which is used as a prostrate ground cover, this juniperus is valued for its silver-blue-green foliage which remains a constant blue color through winter. It is useful on slopes and when draped over walls.

Planting instructions: Dig hole, insert plant slightly higher than soil grade. Disturb root ball very little. No amendments, just native soil. No fertilizers. Backfill the hole. Mulch top of soil around plant in a 2-3' diameter circle. Water lavishly.
