Juniperus squamata 'Blue Star' is a compact dwarf evergreen conifer valued for its dense, rounded form and striking blue-grey foliage. The short, needle-like leaves are tightly packed, giving the plant a neat, textured appearance that remains attractive throughout the year. With its slow growth and naturally mounded habit, it is well suited to rock gardens, containers, and the front of borders. Extremely hardy and drought tolerant once established, this low-maintenance variety is ideal for sunny positions where reliable year-round colour and structure are required.
