A true-blue gem in the landscape, ‘Blue Star’ Juniper is a coniferous evergreen shrub with intense blue, awl-shaped, soft but spruce-like foliage that is complimentary to most any other type of plant growing nearby. It has a mounded hemispherical habit and typically grows as a ground hugging shrub, but this is the standard topiary form grafted high on a single trunk. The shrub grows 1 foot tall after 5 years, but eventually matures over time to an average of 2 feet high and 3 to 4 feet wide with no pruning. Sometimes commonly called singleseed juniper because each bluish, berry-like, female cone contains but a single seed. This cultivar is a sport of Juniperus squamata ‘Meyeri.’

The Blue Star Juniper Standard is ideal for use in the landscape or in pots, planters and other containers as a specimen or to accentuate entryways. A fine addition to conifer gardens, blue theme gardens, Asian gardens, rock gardens and the Xeriscape (low water needs).
