Blue Pacific Shore Juniper
Juniperus conferta 'Blue Pacific'Blue Pacific Juniper is a standout evergreen groundcover known for its lush blue-green foliage and exceptional durability. This low, spreading shrub forms a dense carpet of fine-textured needles, providing year-round color and structure to landscapes large and small. Its trailing branches drape elegantly over slopes, walls, and embankments, making it particularly well suited for erosion control and large-scale coverage. Unlike many junipers, Blue Pacific is notably tolerant of salty winds and coastal conditions, making it a favorite for seaside gardens and rugged, exposed sites.
With its strong adaptability and refined appearance, Blue Pacific Juniper thrives in full sun and poor soils where other plants may struggle. Once established, it requires minimal care and remains resilient through heat, drought, and cold. Its evergreen nature ensures continuous impact, offering a reliable backdrop for flowering plants, ornamental grasses, and modern landscape designs. Whether planted as a single accent or in sweeping masses, Blue Pacific Juniper brings durability, beauty, and ease of maintenance to any outdoor space.
