Blue Star Juniper 1 Live Evergreen Shrub, 2 Gallon Pot, 8 Inches Tall – Juniperus squamata ‘Blue Star’

Blue Star Juniper (Juniperus squamata ‘Blue Star’) is a compact evergreen conifer prized for its brilliant steel-blue foliage, dense branching, and distinctive rounded growth habit. Its short, pointed, needle-like leaves grow closely together, creating a textured appearance that resembles clusters of small blue stars. The silvery-blue foliage provides year-round color and attractive contrast in ornamental landscapes.

This slow-growing juniper develops a chunky, mounded form with densely arranged branches. Its naturally compact habit makes it suitable for rock gardens, foundation plantings, evergreen borders, alpine-style gardens, mixed shrub beds, and decorative outdoor containers. Blue Star Juniper is particularly effective as a landscape accent where its bright blue foliage can contrast with golden evergreens, dark green shrubs, and flowering perennials.

Blue Star Juniper generally performs best in full sun and well-drained soil. It tolerates a variety of soil types when drainage is adequate and offers good drought tolerance once established. Its slow growth and naturally rounded form make it a useful choice for landscapes where a compact, low-growing evergreen is desired.
