Blue Star Juniper – 1 Live Evergreen Shrub, 1-Gallon Size – Juniperus squamata ‘Blue Star’

Blue Star Juniper (Juniperus squamata ‘Blue Star’) is a compact evergreen conifer valued for its striking silvery-blue foliage and naturally dense, rounded growth habit. Its short, needle-like leaves form an attractive textured mound that provides year-round color and structure in ornamental landscapes.

This slow-growing juniper is particularly well suited to rock gardens, foundation plantings, low borders, and mixed evergreen arrangements. Its distinctive blue foliage contrasts beautifully with green-leaved shrubs, flowering perennials, and natural stone. The plant retains its evergreen character throughout the year, although foliage color may shift slightly with seasonal temperatures.

Blue Star Juniper performs best in full sun and well-drained soil. Once established, it tolerates periods of dry weather and generally requires relatively little supplemental watering. Its compact form also makes it suitable for outdoor containers where good drainage is available.

This listing includes 1 live Blue Star Juniper in the 1-gallon size category, with a seller-provided measurement of 6 inches. The measurement type has not been specified and is not confirmed as the plant's shipping height.
