Description
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.’
Landscape & Garden Uses
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).
Growing Preferences
Blue Star Juniper is exceptionally easy to grow in most any average, well-drained soil and full sun, however will tolerate some light shade. Plants growing in the ground are exceptionally drought tolerant when established. When growing in containers make sure to choose a pot with a drainage hole(s) and use a well-draining potting mix/soil, watering only enough to keep soil damp. Constantly soggy or wet soil can cause root rot or other harmful plant diseases. Very low maintenance requiring no pruning. Can be pruned lightly for shaping purposes.
