BLUE RUG JUNIPER 1gal

Add the beautiful Blue Rug Juniper to your landscape for a low-maintenance, year-round splash of color. This ground-hugging evergreen spreads its silvery-blue, dense mat of foliage up to 6 feet wide while staying a diminutive 4-6 inches tall. It is the perfect choice for a sunny, dry location where other plants struggle, as it is both heat and drought tolerant. Blue Rug Juniper is an excellent choice for Zones 7 and 8, as it is a native plant that thrives in a variety of conditions and even takes on a unique purplish tone in winter, adding to its appeal. As a bonus, this tough plant is also deer and rabbit resistant, making it a worry-free addition to your garden.

For planting, dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Blend your native soil with Watters Premium Mulch to enrich the ground and encourage healthy root growth. Gently loosen the roots of your new juniper and place it in the hole so that the top of the root ball is slightly above ground level. Backfill the hole and tamp down lightly to remove air pockets. After planting, apply a layer of Watters 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food around the base. This slow-release organic formula will feed your plant and encourage a strong start.
