Monrovia Juniper

4.6

Best low maintenance groundcover for adding year round silver blue color.

This is the ultimate set-it-and-forget-it groundcover for difficult spots. It trades rapid, aggressive growth for a refined, dense carpet that shifts from silver-blue to a moody plum in winter. It’s not for those who want a manicured garden, but it is perfect for anyone needing reliable, deer-resistant texture in poor soil.
