Grey Owl Juniper 1 Live Evergreen Shrub – Juniperus virginiana ‘Grey Owl’ – 1 Gallon Pot

Grey Owl Juniper (Juniperus virginiana ‘Grey Owl’) is a broad-spreading evergreen conifer valued for its soft-looking, silvery-blue foliage and graceful, layered branching. This ornamental cultivar of Eastern Red Cedar brings year-round color and texture to landscape beds, foundation plantings, slopes, and mixed evergreen borders.

Unlike upright forms of Eastern Red Cedar, Grey Owl Juniper develops a low, wide, spreading growth habit with gently arching branches. Its fine-textured, blue-gray foliage creates a soft, feathery appearance that contrasts with broadleaf shrubs and flowering perennials. Female plants may produce small, berry-like blue cones, although cone production is not guaranteed on every plant.

This listing includes one live Grey Owl Juniper in a 1 gallon nursery pot. It performs best in full sun and prefers well-drained soil. Once established, Grey Owl Juniper is relatively drought tolerant and adapts to a range of soil types, making it useful for sunny landscapes and low-maintenance evergreen plantings.
