Juniperus squamata 'Blue Star'
Juniperus squamata ‘Blue Star’ is a dwarf juniper highly prized for its compact cushion habit and intense steel-blue foliage. This variety stands out for its very slow growth and naturally rounded silhouette, forming a small, dense mass ideal for rock gardens, borders, dwarf conifer beds, and container cultivation. Its evergreen foliage, composed of short, dense needles, displays a luminous silvery-blue hue that remains stable all year round, offering strong ornamental interest even in winter. Its habit remains low and structured without requiring significant pruning. Very hardy, drought-tolerant once established, and adapted to poor, well-drained soils, ‘Blue Star’ is an excellent choice for Nordic gardens seeking texture, color, and long-term volume control.
