Add a touch of icy-blue elegance and easy-care texture to your landscape with the Blue Star Juniper. This dwarf evergreen shrub is a favourite among gardeners for its striking colour, unique form, and exceptional hardiness. It provides a standout visual element without demanding a lot of space or maintenance.
Key Features & Benefits
Striking Silver-Blue Colour: The foliage is a mesmerizing, dense, steel-blue to silver-blue hue that retains its vibrant colour throughout the entire year, providing beautiful contrast against green plants or traditional mulches.
Unique Mounding Form: Growing in a naturally compact, mounding, and dome-like shape, it resembles a shimmering blue cushion. Its slow growth rate means it holds this neat shape without needing frequent pruning.
Dwarf & Compact Size: Reaching only 2–3 feet tall and 3–4 feet wide at maturity, it is the perfect fit for small gardens, rock gardens, containers, or the front of a garden border.
Textural Accent: The short, prickly, needle-like foliage provides a distinct texture that adds depth and interest to mixed beds and foundation plantings.
Extremely Hardy & Drought Tolerant: Once established, this tough juniper is highly drought-tolerant and thrives in poor, sandy soil and urban conditions. It is remarkably hardy.
Deer Resistant: Its slightly prickly texture makes it highly unappealing to deer and rabbits, ensuring your plant stays pristine.
