Juniper Blue Star

A low-growing bush of dense habit, Juniperus squamata Blue Star produces a quirky mound of silvery-blue evergreen foliage. A very good variety for the garden bringing its distinctive grey-blue colour and blue, berry-like female cones. Juniper Blue Star is a worthy addition to any alpine/rock garden or heather garden for its year-round colour and needle-like foliage adding texture. An interesting focal point for a small garden.
