The Blue Star Juniper is a gorgeous mounding low low-growing evergreen that is truly something unusual. It features silvery-blue groundcover foliage that grows with a naturally low-growing and mounding habit. This icy blue color creates a phenomenal contrast when planted with plants that feature purple, red, orange, and green foliage. It reaches only 2 ft. - 3 ft. tall and 2 ft. - 3 ft. W at maturity, so it's incredibly low-maintenance. It's ideal for Asian-inspired gardens, as well as rock gardens. This ground cover Juniper is hardy from USDA Zones 4-8. It grows best in Full Sun exposure and tolerates most soil qualities as long as it has good drainage. Water 2-3 times per week for the first growing season to promote deep-root growth. Fertilize yearly in spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to promote faster growth. These Blue Star Junipers are well-established in a 2.5 Qt. pot. This a slow-growing dwarf plant, so expect them to range from 3 in. - 5 in. tall when shipped.
