Juniperus squamata 'Blue Compact' is a neat, dwarf evergreen juniper valued for its dense form and consistent blue-grey foliage. The short, needle-like leaves are tightly packed, creating a compact, rounded mound that stays tidy with very little maintenance. With its slow growth and low profile, it works well in rock gardens, containers, and the front of borders. Extremely hardy and drought tolerant once established, this variety is an excellent choice for sunny positions where reliable year-round colour and structure are required without the need for regular pruning.
