Blue Forest Juniper – 3 Gallon Pot

A very unique and easy-to-grow North American native, ‘Blue Forest’ Juniper is a low and spreading evergreen conifer with ascending plumed branchlets that make it look like a dense, tiny forest of cedar trees. With the arrival of cold temperatures, its eye-catching dense blue-green foliage turns to darker tones of blues and purples providing enhanced interest in the winter landscape. At 8 to 12 inches tall and spreading 3 to 4 feet wide over time, Blue Forest is ideal for use in design as an accent in smaller garden spaces or in groupings or as a groundcover in larger spaces where it will also spill over walls. As with its J. horizontalis cousins, it is highly tolerant of cold, heat, drought, poor and rocky soils, which lends well for use as an erosion controller on sunny embankments and slopes. Hardy in USDA Zones 3-9.
