Hughes Juniper, Juniperus horizontalis 'Hughes', is a silvery-blue, low growing, spreading Juniper that is very popular because it adds color to the landscape planting year-round. Hughes Juniper has silvery blue foliage; distinct radial branching; holds blue-green color in winter with a tinge of purple. It is excellent for front borders or mass plantings. It prefers sun to light shade; range of soil types; heat and drought tolerant. This plant is a slow grower, and at maturity it will only stand 3 feet tall. Because it tends to stay small and densely foliated, it is often grafted to standard stems to create a topiary-like ornamental plant. Junipers are important evergreens for landscape use due to their tolerance of unfavorable soil conditions, their hardiness and great variation in size, habit, color and growth rate. Junipers are used as ground covers, in foundation plantings, or as hedges, screens or windbreaks. These plants may also be utilized for background plantings in shrub beds or flower gardens, as specimen plants, in rock gardens or for topiary or espalier purposes.
