Juniper - Blue Star
Blue Star Juniper, Juniperus squamata 'Blue Star', displays a rich steel-blue foliage color that is extremely attractive on this low growing mounded plant. The starry foliage creates an excellent addition to the foundation landscape planting. Very adaptable and tolerates dry soils. Blue Star typically grows to only 1 foot tall after 5 years, but eventually matures over time to 2-3' high. Features awl-shaped, silver blue foliage which is attractive year-round. It is easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soils in full sun. Tolerant of a wide variety of soils and some drought, but intolerant of the hot and humid conditions of the deep South. Junipers are important evergreens for landscape use due to their tolerance of unfavorable soil conditions, their hardiness and great variation in size, habit, color and growth rate. Junipers are used as ground covers, in foundation plantings, or as hedges, screens or windbreaks. These plants may also be utilized for background plantings in shrub beds or flower gardens, as specimen plants, in rock gardens or for topiary or espalier purposes.
