- Exceptional silver‑blue groundcover juniper with the best winter color; turns plum‑purple in the coldest climates.
- Ultra‑low profile—about 4 inches tall—yet spreads up to 8 feet for fast, dense coverage.
- Tough and adaptable: heat tolerant; thrives in poor, sandy, or urban soils; deer and rabbit resistant.
- Excellent for erosion control on slopes, along retaining walls, poolside edges, and rock gardens.
Icee Blue Juniper (Juniperus horizontalis ‘Monber’) forms a tight, silver‑blue carpet that quickly knits together for weed‑suppressing, year‑round color. Its ground‑hugging habit (only ~4″ tall) spreads to 6–8′, making it ideal for covering banks, softening hardscape edges, and adding cool tonal contrast to sunny, drought‑lean landscapes. Highly adaptable to heat, lean or sandy soils, and urban conditions, this waterwise evergreen keeps its dense crown without opening with age—and in the coldest regions it picks up attractive plum‑purple tones in winter.
Plant Description
Prostrate, ground‑hugging juniper with finely textured, silver‑blue foliage that maintains a full, dense crown for solid coverage and strong winter presence.
Foliage
Soft, feathery silver‑blue needles through the growing season; foliage may develop plum‑purple hues in the coldest winter weather.
Sun Requirements
Full sun (6+ hours daily) for tightest growth, richest color, and best durability.
Watering Needs
Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish; thereafter, allow soil to dry between waterings—avoid chronically wet sites.
Soil Requirements
Performs best in well‑drained soils; thrives in sandy or average soils and tolerates poor, urban conditions. Not suited to heavy, waterlogged ground.
Growth & Size
Moderate grower to roughly 4 inches tall and 6–8 feet wide; space plants 5–8 feet apart for continuous coverage.
Special Features
Waterwise, deer and rabbit resistant, and effective for erosion control; withstands coastal exposure, heat, and urban settings.
Landscape Uses
Ideal for slopes, retaining wall edges, poolside and pavement borders, rock and xeric gardens, and as a low, textural matrix in modern plantings.
Care Instructions
Plant in full sun with sharp drainage. Water regularly the first season, then reduce frequency. Mulch to suppress weeds until filled in. Pruning is rarely needed—light tip‑trimming only to guide spread.
