Juniperus squamata 'Dream Joy'
Juniperus squamata 'Dream Joy', also known as the 'Dream Joy' scaly juniper, is a highly decorative dwarf conifer prized for its contrasting foliage and compact, spreading habit. This variety forms a small, dense shrub with horizontal branches that create an elegant plant cushion, ideal for rock gardens, conifer beds, and alpine gardens. Its silvery-blue foliage provides a beautiful permanent base, while young spring shoots emerge in a bright golden-yellow hue, creating a spectacular contrast. This seasonal coloration brings a lot of vibrancy to landscape compositions. Very hardy and low-maintenance, this juniper tolerates poor, dry, or sandy soils and harsh climatic conditions well, provided the soil is well-drained and the location is in full sun.
