Juniperus Squamata 'Blue Star'
Overview

Its distinctive star-shaped growth reaches 1-3 ft in height and 2-4 ft in spread at maturity. Preferring full sun, well-drained soil, and being drought-tolerant, it's ideal for rock gardens, borders, or as a ground cover. USDA zones 4-8 ensure wide adaptability.
