Description
Juniperus squamata ‘Blue Star’ is a compact, slow-growing evergreen shrub valued for its distinctive steel-blue foliage and naturally dense, mounded form. Unlike spreading ground cover junipers, ‘Blue Star’ forms a tight, star-shaped mound with short, stiff branches radiating outward, giving the plant its characteristic texture and structure.
The needle-like foliage holds its rich blue to silvery-blue color year-round, making it an excellent choice for foundation plantings, rock gardens, mixed borders, and accent plantings. Its slow growth rate and minimal maintenance needs make it ideal for landscapes where a controlled size and consistent color are desired.
