Juniperus squamata 'Blue Carpet' is a prostrate, low-growing, coniferous, evergreen shrub with carpet-like habit, scaly brown bark, and horizontal sprays of silver-blue needle-like leaves, blue-green in winter. It is often called single-seed juniper because it bears elliptic, blackish, berry-like seed cones with only one seed. Juniperus squamata 'Blue Carpet' can grow in a wide range of soils, even poor and dry, except waterlogged. It prefers average, medium moisture, well-drained soils, and thrives in full sun and partial shade. Once established, resistant to drought. It is somewhat intolerant of hot and humid conditions. Very resistant to frost and exposed positions. No serious pest and disease problems. Low maintenance plant, doesn’t require pruning. Flaky juniper 'Blue Carpet' is a wonderful, ground-covering, fast-growing and very resilient shrub. Excellent as a specimen plant or foundation plant. Great for beds and borders, banks and slopes, or rock and gravel gardens. Perfect as a ground cover.

About Us

During this time, we have developed a large stock of trees, mature evergreen shrubs, conifers, Japanese maples, cedars and olives. What sets us apart from a generic garden center is solid unwavering focus on trees and some bigger shrubs. You will find thousands of trees, hundreds of varieties and lots of experts who are working on the nursery and more than willing to help you to choose a plant for you.

What you will not find is hot tubs, garden furniture and plastic garden gnomes. In a nutshell, trees is what we know and trees is what we do, and only trees (and some shrubs to go with the trees).
