Juniperus conferta, commonly called shore juniper, is a decumbent evergreen shrub that is native to certain sandy coastal areas of Japan and Sakhalin Island (Russia). It is a dense, low-spreading plant that grows 10-18” tall and spreads by creeping, branched stems over time to 6-8’ wide.

'Blue Pacific' is a trailing, lower growing cultivar that typically grows to at most 12" tall.

Blue Pacific Juniper typically doesn't grow only downhill when planted on a slope. While it has a prostrate or spreading growth habit, it will establish roots and spread horizontally in various directions, including uphill and downhill.
