Description
Juniperus horizontalis ‘Prince of Wales’, commonly known as Creeping Juniper, is a low-growing, spreading evergreen groundcover prized for its dense, mat-forming habit and striking silvery-blue foliage that adds year-round color and texture to landscapes. Native to North America, this cultivar is valued for its exceptional cold hardiness and tolerance to poor, rocky soils, making it an ideal choice for erosion control, rock gardens, and foundation plantings. Its trailing branches can spread up to six feet wide but remain under one foot in height, creating a lush carpet that suppresses weeds and requires minimal maintenance. ‘Prince of Wales’ is also resistant to deer browsing and drought, enhancing its appeal for sustainable and wildlife-friendly gardens. Recognized for its ornamental beauty and versatility, this cultivar continues to be a popular selection among landscapers and gardeners seeking durable evergreen groundcovers with vivid foliage contrast.
