Juniperus squamata 'Blue Swede' is a compact, upright evergreen conifer valued for its dense habit and cool blue-grey foliage. Forming a neat, bushy shrub rather than a spreading groundcover, it provides strong structure and year-round colour in sunny gardens. The needle-like foliage remains consistent throughout the seasons, making it a reliable choice for borders and mixed planting schemes. Hardy, drought tolerant once established, and low maintenance, this variety is ideal where a tidy, upright blue conifer is required.
