Juniperus squamata 'Blue Spider' is an evergreen juniper grown for its unusual growth pattern and cool-toned foliage. The plant develops long, arching branches that spread outward in a loose, irregular manner, giving it a distinctive, spider-like form. Its needle-like leaves are blue-green to steel blue and provide consistent colour throughout the year. Naturally low and spreading, this variety is well suited to groundcover use, sloping sites, and gravel or rock gardens. Hardy and tolerant of dry conditions once established, it is a dependable choice for sunny positions where texture and structure are required with minimal maintenance.
