Rocky Mountain Juniper 'Blue Heaven'
FamilyCupressaceae
Juniperus scopulorum 'Blue Heaven' is a juniper with a narrow columnar habit and unique matte steel-blue foliage, softer and more powdery than other cultivars. Its dense silhouette, more rigid than 'Wichita Blue', is particularly well-suited for structured plantings, narrow hedges, or architectural alignments. This conifer maintains stable coloration year-round and offers an elegant contrast with green or golden foliage in the garden. Very hardy and low-maintenance, it tolerates harsh winters, drought, drying winds, and poor soils as long as they are well-drained. Its moderate growth allows it to retain its naturally upright form without intervention. 'Blue Heaven' is distinguished by its graphic simplicity, ease of maintenance, and superb persistent bluish hue.
