Blue Pacific Juniper – A Gentle Groundcover with a Heart for Home
At Wright’s Market, we know that the best gardens aren’t just planted—they’re passed down, piece by piece, story by story. The Blue Pacific Juniper is one of those enduring treasures—a low, spreading evergreen that weaves its way gently across the garden floor like a soft family quilt.
With silvery-blue foliage and a salt-of-the-earth strength, this juniper brings structure, calm, and year-round beauty to the spaces where love is planted and memories grow.
Steady, Reliable, and Beautifully Grounded
This hardy groundcover is ideal for slopes, borders, and open beds, where it forms a lush, low-maintenance carpet. Its soft needles are touchable and its color adds a cool contrast to warmer garden tones. It grows low and wide—reaching:
-
Height: 6–12 inches tall
-
Width: 6–8 feet wide
-
Growing Zones: 4–9
-
Growth Rate: Spreads 4 to 6 inches per year, steadily and gracefully
Blue Pacific Juniper is salt-tolerant, drought-resistant, and deer-resistant, making it a steadfast choice for Southern gardens and coastal landscapes alike.
How to Care for Your Blue Pacific Juniper
This plant loves full sun and thrives in well-drained soil. Once established, it needs very little water—just the occasional sip during dry spells. It asks for very little and gives so much in return.
Fertilizing With Intention:
Feed once in early spring with a light, balanced slow-release fertilizer if desired, though it often thrives without extra feeding. Just a touch of care goes a long way.
