Blue Star Juniper
Blue star juniper is a small, mounding dwarf juniper grown for its blue color and interesting scales (leaves). Rather than having long, feathery branches like other short junipers, it has short branches that form a small, irregular mound shape. It is often used as a dwarf conifer to provide year-round beauty in the landscape. It is less expensive than specialty dwarf spruces and pines.
Its light and medium blue color is quite beautiful. Blue star juniper grows best with some protection and regular watering.
Junipers are not recommended for homes with wildfire risk.
