Members' notes...
Pretty blue one on rockery. It has done extremely well
Compact,slow growing
Bought 2007. Unsure if this is 'Holger' or 'Blue Carpet' as a group of identical-looking plants in the garden centre had two different labels. I suspect the latter, as the growth is very prostrate and I have seen slightly more upright growth on pictures of 'Holger'.
Groundcover for the grassy side of my front garden, to eventually replace a small area of lawn. They have been growing at a reasonable rate and it seems to be working out well, although there was a small amount of dieback in the middle of one. Sedum reflexum is planted around it, to be removed as the juniper spreads out more.
I recall reading somewhere that they need a bit of pruning to avoid the dieback, so I'll do that.
