Juniperus squamata 'Blue Carpet' is an evergreen conifer that spreads outward rather than upward, creating a broad, low layer of blue-toned foliage. Its growth stays close to the ground, making it especially useful where long-term surface coverage is needed. The fine, needle-like leaves maintain a cool blue-grey colour throughout the year, providing consistent visual interest without seasonal change. Once established, it copes well with sun, wind, and dry conditions, requiring very little attention. This variety is well suited to banks, slopes, and open areas where a hardy, ground-hugging plant is required to provide structure and coverage.
