Wiltoni Juniper is a dense, low-spreading juniper with intense silver-blue foliage and soft blue berries that stand out in the winter. Excellent groundcover.
"Blue Rug" Creeping or Carpet Juniper (Juniperus horizontalis 'Wiltoni') is the most commonly offered carpet juniper. It is only about six or eight inches tall with feathery glaucus (bluish) needles. Ultra cold-hardy to minus forty degrees Fahrenheit or even colder, in seriously cold winters it can turn almost purple. But it tends to be year-round green in very mild temperate zones.
Dioecious, the male & female shrubs are separate. The male shrubs have rather dry yellow cones one-fourth inch around. The female shrub has fleshy dark blue berry-like cones. The female "berries" were used by Native Americans to brew a tonic tea, & they are also eaten by grouse, wood rats, & deer.
