Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.

  • Description

  • Notes

'Blue Chip' is a cultivar of J. horizontalis, and has a low, prostrate habit, growing less than a foot high, but spreading 6 to 8 feet. It has silver-blue foliage which holds during the winter months. It is useful on slopes, as a large area groundcover, or draped over walls. Have also seen it in nurseries propped up on a stake, to make some sort of mounding-thing.
