Juniperus horizontalis ‘Icee Blue’ is a dense, fast-spreading groundcover with vibrant silvery-blue needles that intensify in winter with a hint of purple. Staying under 1 foot tall but spreading 6 to 8 feet wide, it forms a soft, carpet-like mat that’s ideal for erosion control, rock gardens, and low-maintenance borders. Icee Blue is highly drought tolerant, deer resistant, and thrives in full sun with well-drained soil, making it a great option for tough areas where beauty and durability are both needed.
