Notes
'Blue Pacific' shore juniper (Juniperus rigida 'Blue Pacific') is a shrub for borders, rock gardens, ground cover, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to moist soil of most types. It is a low, creeping evergreen with blue-green foliage that grows at a rapid rate. The needles are fragrant, and the plant tolerates drought. Deer tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Blazing star, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, and Greig's tulip.
